Some great cards there. It's nice to see PSA will still give 10s to vintage cards.
To the majority a reminder of what is possible. 10s can be earned with superior examples of vintage cards. The rarity is from what raw material is still available to all of us. It ain’t much.
Chris, those are some amazing cards and grades. I just got back 200 cards from PSA and I think they graded about 60 of them correctly. I sent in 60s/70's from vending and got nothing but 7/8s on all of them. I am going to sit out grading cards for a year or two until I see a more consistent approach with PSA.
Looking for high grade rookie cards and unopened boxes/cases

I'm glad Chris got a fair grader. It's really a roll of the dice. I stopped submitting after my most recent two large subs. The first sub was one of my best over. The second was one of my worst subs ever. All culled from the same inventory of cards randomly drawn between the two subs. After 20,000+ cards subbed, I'm done under the current environment (price, consistency, etc). Now I just focus on hoarding high grade raw and buying already graded cards for my registry sets.
I'll be scouting some of these when they hit the auction block.
Very nice ICONIC box of cards! (1977 star wars cards graded might overtake total 1977 baseball graded... it is currently at about 50% or so level and that happened rather quickly I think..

gem, with how expensive it has become to have cards graded the story above is terrifying.
It's so obvious that the results can vary so much that you are probably better off splitting any large sub into 3 or 4 smaller ones.

^ but note how the 10's go only to commons and the most minor of stars and not to HOF'ers

The cards in the list above and shown are planned to be in the Heritage December 18 - 20 Winter Sports Catalog Auction
You should have a provenance. certificate or dare I say a sticker created for cards sourced from your rips.
I think it would appeal very much to those of us here - no kidding

I like this idea, maybe call it FASP (from a sealed pack and straight to the holder).

3rd is better though!
