Cracking PSA 8's

rbdjr1 · March 17, 2007 7:00AM

Has anyone here had positive results cracking PSA 8's and then getting the raw cards regraded higher?

I was curious?

I was just looking thru some PSA 8 lo pop 70's material, and wondered?

LMK TIA

My guess is that going from 8 to 9, is more
difficult than going from 9 to 10.

"A 9 is a card that looks perfect, but............."

If the second/third grader misses the "but," the card
goes from 9 to 10.

I would think more 8's go to 9 then 9 to 10.

10's are just not given out.

I could be wrong but feel if you took 100 hi end 8's more of them would come back 9 then if you took 100 hi end 9's hoping for 10.

"...but feel if you took 100 hi end 8's more of them would come back 9
then if you took 100 hi end 9's hoping for 10."

My guess is based on the idea that there may be more borderline 8s,
than there are borderline 9s.

Based on PSA's criteria, it seems easier for a grader to be correct/close
on picking out 9s than it is for them to perfectly identify 8s.

Just guessing though.

not very good on my end. 8s were returned as 8s.

I was going under the premise that a person would take only hi end for the grade cards.

I understand what you were thinking Storm and i agree with you.

My guess would be that 9 to 10 is an easier proposition than 8 to 9.

same luck as steve

busted 5 '69 topps and resubmitted and they came back the same.

I did alright on resubmitting some cards that very unfairly graded by the grader of death. It was a while ago, but I'm thinking 6 or 7 of 10 that were resubmitted got bumped from 8 to 9.

I forgot to add that they were all 1970's cards
