My first ever sub popped

As some of you know, I am back to the hobby after a very long hiatus, and brand new to graded cards. I became a member a little over a month ago, and have learned so much on these boards. I signed up for the collectors club, and here is my first sub (comp).

1 07267171 1957 TOPPS 210 ROY CAMPANELLA N/A 4
2 07267172 1986 TOPPS 1 PETE ROSE N/A 9
3 07267173 1966 TOPPS 110 ERNIE BANKS N/A 4
4 07267174 1986 TOPPS TRADED 11T BARRY BONDS N/A 8
5 07267175 1985 TOPPS 536 KIRBY PUCKETT N/A 8
6 07267176 1985 TOPPS 181 ROGER CLEMENS N/A 7

The Campanella and Banks I knew would grade low, but I really just wanted them slabbed. The Campy is my alltime favorite card, it was my first vintage card, and given to me as a gift when I was 12. The Banks was the first vintage card I bought with my own money, and both cards are priceless to me.
The other cards there was no rhyme or reason to the subs, just trying to get some examples of grades, to try to hone my skills. I was hoping for a 10 on the Rose. Thought the Bonds was a 9, the Puckett and Clemens are probably right on.
Just wanted to share, I know its nothing major, but I was pretty excited to get my first grades.

    Overall, your sub was not to bad.

    My first sub was a bunch of 4 and 5's that I thought
    were all Nrmt...image
  • it's a great first submission; I think at least half of my first cards had some type of qualifier.
