this is very true. regarding the vending and a good bit of pack pulls. weve discussed and you know i love your subbing style. may want to tweak it just a tad to ensure that juice is worth the squeeze as far as factory shorts. may be worth a phone call to psa bc the wrong designation makes all the difference in the world. trimmed equals paying for sub. factory miscut doesnt. or at least that's the way it was.
Thank you my good sir, means a lot! I will definitely tweak my subs going forward; I can’t afford N1’s. I’m gonna email PSA and see if I can get some answers. I’m not expecting any bc I know they’re tight-lipped about that, but that’s ok. Plus, my Aaron got a 9! Can’t wait to get that back!
Random mixed order but got some nice hits. Especially the Donald Ref RC which I found searching through a box during the Covid peak! I'm interested to see the 85 Fleer Gooden which looked like a lock for a 10.

I had 11 orders...all of which were entered on 1/13, get shifted to assembly today so it was pretty clear to me that they had made that their objective to get those moved out of grading phase today. That being said I'm expecting a decently extended stay in the assembly stage because more often than not of late that's been the reality. Hopefully I'm wrong and get pleasantly surprised, only time will tell
notes: lightning fast poppage, imo. was expecting a month or so. all the trevors were subbed for a buddy, so not mine. 6 for 8 gems w/ two upcharges. knew the luka holo had extremely low chance at gemming. the rj barrett is /5. so a 9 is fine. extremely happy. no problem giving psa “their cut”.
Nice results @blurryface and great turnaround too. I have two single card express orders arrived 9/13, logged 9/14, one in grading 9/15 and the other (crossover) in grading 9/20. Last express crossover I sent in July took about 6 weeks, so am expecting about the same on this one. Thinking the other non-crossover one is done in 4 weeks, but looks like yours and a couple others have popped much quicker.

this is the second round of trevor cards subbed for him. only other gem was a ‘70 red /5. did sub another platinum that got a 9 w 10 auto but thats it. all the rest 9s. he pulled most straight from packs.
Some cards where I have either 2 of the exact same card or two cards from the same set for easy comparison, I seriously can't see the difference between the 9 and 10. I get that their expert eyes are supposed to catch things that my eyes wouldn't, but then I have cases where I get a 10, and it doesn't look near perfect to me. 🤷🏼♂️

a 6 usually means a crimped edge or corner when holdering lately. if you get it back, it does seem like thats what transpired & you decide to call them on it will you let us know the outcome. i have about 10 now from various subs that are in a box. right now im just letting them slide, i guess vs creating a headache for myself…

While I was hoping for a 10, I knew a 9 was more likely so I'm happy. The only other graded copy is a PSA 6, so a 9 is huge for me. I know there are not many WNBA collectors here, but this is the only RC of the best player in the game which there are just 500 copies of. And I love a signed RC.

Cool. I took pictures of my PSA 6. I did spot a small printing defect on the front which I circled. Other than that, I don't see any differences between the 9 and 6. Would this kind of thing knock a card down from 9 to 6?
I took a whole bunch of other detailed pics of all the corners and back if anyone wants to see. Nothing really stood out on the corners or edges that I could see, so I'm think this mark was more likely the culprit.
@handyman said:
I can maybe see it still. Its in the red part starting at the bottom of the stars.
Maybe not. Hard going by a scan. How about the back.
There must be a bend dint or ding is my guess. Not the print dot. move it in the light at all angles and something should show up is my guess. Just mail me a fiver once you find it
In my experience, a 6 that looks like a 9 is usually a light surface wrinkle on the back. Wrinkles on the front usually get a 5.
They can be hard to see sometimes depending where they are. I had a Kobe e-x2000 rookie where the wrinkle was in the seam of the basketball. Took me forever to find it.
Bernie Carlen
Currently collecting.....your guess is as good as mine.
That could be. I'm not seeing any obvious ding or wrinkle, but the card may not be flat. It's super hard to tell in the holder, but the top edge look angled as if the card may be slightly warped.

It's very frustrating when you find some great cards to submit and have them come back with grades like that Jordan. Believe me, I've been there. All you can do is just keep it and enjoy the card, and disregard the grade. That's a great looking card IMO.

one thing that I think is more prevalent these days are "phantom" back wrinkles. This is probably more applicable to vintage paper than 1989 hoops but I have a bunch of bowman's that were previously much higher graded (7's and 8's)and they came back in psa 3-5's. My only conclusion that I could find was that if that back was not completely smooth it was being interpreted as wrinkles or paper damage.
Question - I’ve seen a few recent posts involving group, special, value orders etc. that are being shipped approx. 8 months after entry. For those of you in that boat, do you recall when you hit the grading phase in that eight-month span? I ask because I have a value modern order that was entered on 4/15 but hasn’t made it out of R&ID. I’d love to get them back before Christmas (two cards belong to my son) but I’m not optimistic if they don’t advance to grading before October.

You might get in to grading stage in 2 months, but I highly doubt you will get your cards back by Christmas, they have yet to hit the really big months of submissions (February and March)
Comments
Sigh. You’re right. They sent an invoice right after the “your grades are ready email, only for LAST months submission. I got billed the full amount.
Thank you my good sir, means a lot! I will definitely tweak my subs going forward; I can’t afford N1’s. I’m gonna email PSA and see if I can get some answers. I’m not expecting any bc I know they’re tight-lipped about that, but that’s ok. Plus, my Aaron got a 9! Can’t wait to get that back!

I get that their expert eyes are supposed to catch things that my eyes wouldn't, but then I have cases where I get a 10, and it doesn't look near perfect to me. 🤷🏼♂️
or this a good one:

43 1 53955420 MINT 9 1989 Hoops 21 Michael Jordan All-Star Card
I don't see the difference between these two. lol
I wonder if the graders get bug-eyed after staring at cards closely all day and can't see the difference themselves by the end of the day.
a 6 usually means a crimped edge or corner when holdering lately. if you get it back, it does seem like thats what transpired & you decide to call them on it will you let us know the outcome. i have about 10 now from various subs that are in a box. right now im just letting them slide, i guess vs creating a headache for myself…
Interesting. I do have these in hand. I’ll try to take some pictures tomorrow. Do you have any pictures of any of yours to show what these corners/edges look like?
i can take a few next time im up there. most seem to be top corners from my recollection.

While I was hoping for a 10, I knew a 9 was more likely so I'm happy. The only other graded copy is a PSA 6, so a 9 is huge for me. I know there are not many WNBA collectors here, but this is the only RC of the best player in the game which there are just 500 copies of. And I love a signed RC.
Yay @scmavl !!! Nothing wrong with a nice WNBA auto in PSA 9!!
Live long, and prosper.
Cool. I took pictures of my PSA 6. I did spot a small printing defect on the front which I circled. Other than that, I don't see any differences between the 9 and 6. Would this kind of thing knock a card down from 9 to 6?
I took a whole bunch of other detailed pics of all the corners and back if anyone wants to see. Nothing really stood out on the corners or edges that I could see, so I'm think this mark was more likely the culprit.
Is there a dint or scratch on the bottom left edge corner area directly under the stars going to the bottom edge. Or is that a glare
I don't think there's anything there, but here's a corner shot:
I can maybe see it still. Its in the red part starting at the bottom of the stars.
Maybe not. Hard going by a scan. How about the back.
Here are bunch of back pics:
Hard to tell by the scan. Mail the card to me with a hundo and Ill find the flaw and mail it back with an essay.
Do you take a year to perform your grading services like PSA? 😁
I’m assuming there must be something I cant’t see. Not that I care much for this card, but I’m just trying to learn for future submissions.
There must be a bend dint or ding is my guess. Not the print dot. move it in the light at all angles and something should show up is my guess. Just mail me a fiver once you find it
In my experience, a 6 that looks like a 9 is usually a light surface wrinkle on the back. Wrinkles on the front usually get a 5.
They can be hard to see sometimes depending where they are. I had a Kobe e-x2000 rookie where the wrinkle was in the seam of the basketball. Took me forever to find it.
Currently collecting.....your guess is as good as mine.
That could be. I'm not seeing any obvious ding or wrinkle, but the card may not be flat. It's super hard to tell in the holder, but the top edge look angled as if the card may be slightly warped.
It's very frustrating when you find some great cards to submit and have them come back with grades like that Jordan. Believe me, I've been there. All you can do is just keep it and enjoy the card, and disregard the grade. That's a great looking card IMO.

Very happy with the results!!
one thing that I think is more prevalent these days are "phantom" back wrinkles. This is probably more applicable to vintage paper than 1989 hoops but I have a bunch of bowman's that were previously much higher graded (7's and 8's)and they came back in psa 3-5's. My only conclusion that I could find was that if that back was not completely smooth it was being interpreted as wrinkles or paper damage.
if so the warp may have caused a wrinkle that is hard to see.

Question - I’ve seen a few recent posts involving group, special, value orders etc. that are being shipped approx. 8 months after entry. For those of you in that boat, do you recall when you hit the grading phase in that eight-month span? I ask because I have a value modern order that was entered on 4/15 but hasn’t made it out of R&ID. I’d love to get them back before Christmas (two cards belong to my son) but I’m not optimistic if they don’t advance to grading before October.
nice hit line 3!
Thank you! It feels good to get some 10's this time.

You might get in to grading stage in 2 months, but I highly doubt you will get your cards back by Christmas, they have yet to hit the really big months of submissions (February and March)
