Awesome. I just threw some in the November thread that I recently got slabbed that I picked up as a kid 40 years ago but nothing as nice as these. The RH is GREAT.

These are great! Tough to get them to sign it and get PSA to give it a 10 again. Good hunt though!

Good luck. My results have been kind of average as of late.
Not complaining, just looking for the ocassional hit.

You should have gotten Coop's signature on there too. I consider him one of the most underrated guys from the 70s/80s. Dude could play.
Agree. But for Brett hitting .390 he would have won the MVP in 1980. Had a monster year. In the 80s I called it the Cooper/Fisk rookie as I thought Cooper was better. Unfortunately his peak with the Brewers was too short.
That reminds me of a story from Sports Collectors Digest in the 1980s: IIRC, Cooper was a rubber stamper for by-mail signature requests. Someone sent him a card to 'sign' and he was a little sloppy with it so the recipient got a card stamped "Cecil Coo" with the rest of the stamp not even making it onto the card.

I like how he signed his name over Ron Cey's face. I hated the Penguin. Sorry about your card.
How much did it sale for is one of the funniest and most ignorant things I've ever heard.

Sorry to hear about that Schmidt. That's a bummer for real.
I had an interesting turn recently. I'd sent a card in (straight out of a vending) and it came back Min Size. I waited a while for another Vintage special and sent it in again. This time it came back Evid Trim!?!
So, apparently they're confused on the size and how to tell if it's trimmed. Fun times.

If you get a resolution on this then let us know. I've had many many cards I'd subbed that were returned as Min Size that I sent in again and they were graded the second time through. I only do vintage so I have my own opinion that there's so much variation from older cards and inexperienced graders are just really inexperienced.
Inconsistency seems to be the consistency...

The ol' shrinking steel ruler trick.
That’s an interesting reply. I’m not even sure how there can be subjectivity in a MINIMUM size, right? Especially with all the bragging about scanning and AI. I don’t get it.
Seems like there’s something else going on internally that’s creating these type returns. I’ve also been getting a ton returned recently.
I thought it was due to over reliance on AI/computer evaluations to the detriment of an eye test.
Seems very weird.
It does feel like they have felt that way for many years but I think part of the problem with a comp like that is its like Toys R Us bought Target at a moment when they felt their hold on the toy market shifting. Or Yahoo buying Google when they saw their search results pull back some.
Outside of wanting to keep certain sets/collections that had already been built up in the PSA holder, I feel like a lot of people could have or will grow to accept cards in SGC holders. If you have one Mays or Aaron card that looks nice that you think PSA will be harsh on, sure, why not SGC. I think people were/are growing to see SGC as an alternative. $15 a card and 5 day turnaround and better results and mix a 1957 sports card and a 2024 sports card and a Mars Attacks card and a Pokemon card and a modern auto card (at the same rate) in the same order. Hard not to like.
But after the SGC acquisition PSA can be whoever they feel like being. If you dont like doing business with us fine, we dont care, go do business with us instead. I just hope SGC remains unique and independent but doubt they will.
PSA knows they bought the real threat and now dont need to adapt to please any customers to keep them from fleeing. They know Beckett will get some /99 auto cards and they wont feel the pain of not getting that business. They dont have to feel CGC is a threat. So it can be the same as if Yahoo bought Google years ago. You dont like us, go use Bing. Yeah, we know you wont. Or DuckDuckGo. Have fun. We ain't changing.
Didn’t Beckett just get bought too? I wonder if they throw some money towards their grading service to take back some market share. Seems like it can be a cash cow if you get the collector’s trust back these days.
PSA is incredible! They are so smart, they can reject a card that measures big enough as too small, and when you point it out. You're still wrong!
I had many such arguments with them over the years and have simply given up.
Just keep sending the card in time and time again, someday it will get graded properly. The best one I experienced was a card that came back MC. I don't submit anything that's not near perfectly centered, so I checked it to see if it was "square", it was.
Resubmitted and got a "9". Great racket to do your job wrong and still get paid.
I felt that someone from this department (autographs ) would get a chuckle or two from this signed Lincoln cent.
The coin's date has been determined as it has a few errors. LOL
Even Cy Young, would consider this, small ball.
All photos are from the same coin.
The two on top are the same photo but one is inverted to show wings and a baseball centered, With stitches when butted up together
The ball and wings oval photo, is the actual image from his head stone. Creepy huh ?
Bottom is a signature, looking like the spelling could use some work.
Don't shoot the messenger.

Man, I love Tony Perez. I just had these slabbed this fall. All 3 were obtained by mail in the 80s and I finally wanted them encased. (Yours is much cooler!)

What idiot didn't vote for Ichiro?
That's what I want to know too. Or Jr. Or Jeter.

Or Ruth or Mays or Aaron or Seaver or Ripkin and the list goes on and on. Appears moronicy is not limited to any particular era.

I did a HOF Rookie card / PSA DNA run from 69-83 with a few hopefuls added in.
