I went Fri. & Sat. I sold 2-54 Bowmans both PSA 6s both #66 Williams & Piersall. I bought 2 cards a PSA 8 1959 Mantle & a PSA 9 1954 Bowman Minoso. I went with the intention of getting 700 SGC cards changed over to PSA a 54 & 58 master both complete.I had a PSA guy look at my 54 Banks SGC 8 & he said it would be a PSA 6 so I decided not to grade any cards. I can post a picture of the Banks if anyone is interested in seeing it. It's not for sale.

Yes please post the Banks photo- thank you.
psa is tough on the cards unfortunately not for everyone.
a PSA guy, as in one of the initial people you talk to at the front desk? Are we sure that guy is qualified to be tossing out grade predictions?
I wanna see the Minoso!

Thank you for your brief but insightful analysis of this major convention.
Farewell Ryno.

Golden hawk….
Nice haul from the National!
Hi can you please provide better photos for your 54 Banks. You mentioned a PSA rep said it would only receive a 6. I would like to see what a 6 looks like.
Centering side-to-side is off on ‘54 Banks RC…it probably would grade at least a half grade lower than an old SGC slab.
I relatively recently (7xxxxxxx) submitted SGC-92 ‘56 Mantle and ‘63 Rose RC in SGC slabs…and both received a PSA-8.
I sent the Rose RC to PSA last month for review in a PSA holder….but it did not bump.
I should send the Rose RC to Mike Baker…I think it would receive a silver or gold sticker. The centering is exceptional for the issue with no skewness….hard to find this card with those qualities. This card was purchased from REA in 2014 who told me the original owner pulled the card from a wax pack in 1963…he would look at the cards once …then put the cards back in the wax wrapper ….and chewed the gum …but never looked at the cards again.
Interesting that I sent a 1955 Jackie Robinson SGC-8 (in a new holder) with a PWCC-E into PSA about a couple weeks later...and it crossed straight to a PSA-8. I submitted the Jackie with the Rose RC for review...but it did not bump either. Grading notes on the Jackie stated that it was due to one corner...tough today to grade above a PSA-8.
Great Minoso!
