I will start this month off with a card which arrived early this afternoon (10/1). It's a low-to-mid grade card presenting above its assigned grade. I was sold on the centering as well as the bright, beautiful hues. And no creases or spider wrinkles.

Gorgeous card! With no creasing/wrinkling and great centering, it’s hard to believe those corners warrant the lower grade.
Amazing card for the grade! Congrats!
Not here yet. Upgrade from "authentic ".
My modern 3-card sub just POPPED, after nearly 4 months at PSA.
Bummer on the 8, though.
Beautiful Satchell!
Monte - that is a monster of a Paige😳 congrats on a great pickup.

Picked up this stadium giveaway bobblehead. It depicts the famous photo taken immediately after the last out of an 11-0 rout in Game 7 of the 1985 I-70 Series.

Grabbed a newly graded OPC Morgan. Pop 5 only 2 higher and no 9's or 10's.
Really nice Satch
Centering is great

Just closed the deal on this one today. Not a bad mate for the 57 Willie I picked up a week ago. Save a ton of $$ not hunting for an 8, and really like how they look from an eye appeal perspective.
Keith…
Those 57s are centered with beautiful color….producing exceptional eye appeal of a much higher grade. Congrats…on those pickups!
KC, congrats. Both of those are art work. Beautiful 57's.
Is something going on with images on posts? They are all flattened on both my phone and PC.
Think that way for everyone. All these beautiful cards are ugly.
Ok thanks. Gonna hold off posting on my RIP thread. I have some DOOZY 1/1 Break Cards that will be coming up.
Had a gift voucher - so I sent this one in - happy it got a 10.
Another sub just POPPED. Small PC sub. Couple of tougher finds.
I listed the 77 Hostess Twinkies as a Complete Panel. PSA changed it to Hand Cut. I reported the error during grading and they left it as-is. I think the grader thinks it was cut beyond the dotted lines left/right, except there are NO dotted lines left/right for this issue, and it's a complete single card panel. I feel the Authentic grade is in error because of this. I opened a case.
There are no Ron Cey complete panels graded, but this is lumped in with the Hand Cut cards.
The Wendys Disc only had 1 ever graded. I was lucky to find a raw one.
Weird that the 2 discs were put in 2 different insert style holders.
Just secured a few nice mid-grade 1971 OPC cards. The set build project is sputtering along so I thought I'd grab some graded ones not needed for the set. People complain about the grades PSA is doling out these days but it affords an opportunity to get some good deals on PSA 6's and 7's. All around, I like the Luzinski best. The Cloninger has great centering and the Merritt is really sharp while being centered a tad too high. Bonus: The cards were US sourced so no 35% added cost.
I looked over into the coin forum and found a thread that indicated the image distortion issue is being worked on.
