One last question before they go out? Should I request NO QUALIFIERS on the submission form? I would hate for the Aaron to come back 9 (oc) when it might pull a straight 8.
By the way, I took out the Cey, Randolph RC, and a couple of more. I added the Morgan and the Thornton.
I am filling out my submission form, and would like opinions on the "no qualifiers" question as soon as I can. Thanks.
Luzinski is a low pop in PSA 9 I believe, but that one looks like it has some snow on it?? Can you as for a no PD qualifier and will they knock it down 2 grades??
I sent these off on Wednesday. I did request no qualifiers.
What is y'alls opinion of the Billy Williams and the Ted Kubiak? I just looked at the pop report and there are ZERO PSA 10's. There is also ZERO PSA 10's on Ted Kubiak.
Wow. Those are great. I came across a nice 76 set a couple of months ago, got one 10 and a bunch of 9's including Guidry. The nicest card in the set was Billy Williams, which I thought was a sure 10. Yours appears nicer. Mine pulled a 9 and I was disappointed. Yours might be the first. Best of luck.
I'll gladly take any 'Stros you decide not to send in.
Good luck on the sub
So basically my kid won't be able to go to college, but at least I'll have a set where the three most expensive cards are of a player I despise ~ CDsNuts
This is a good thread and those cards are nice. I do not want to jinx you, but I have a feeling that a grader of death is going to kill this sub. I hope I am wrong and you get some 10's.

I go back and forth. I have had that "feeling of doom" as well. Is there anything that you actually SEE that makes you feel that way, or are you saying that because of "Murphy's Law"?
No specific thing I see really. Just seems a lot of the cards are very nice with only one or two very minor flaws and I fear that a grader might be hard on them. Some of the 76 experts on here have said that the tilts will have no weight on the final grade so I am not sure. I really hope this thread resurfaces with your grades being very high, but you never know. Good luck.
Well, my hands are shaking right now, and it's not because I'm excited. I figured I would get them back pretty quickly because of them all being from one year (except for the 1982 Rose). I pretty much got slammed. I am pretty disappointed. I thought I was a better grader than this. I really didn't think there would be anything less than an 8.5 on the commons. I thought that a handful of the stars would get 8's, but that some would get 9's.

Just over 50% 9s, a couple of 10s, and you're disappointed??!?
So basically my kid won't be able to go to college, but at least I'll have a set where the three most expensive cards are of a player I despise ~ CDsNuts
Yes, I figured I would get that. All being said (with the breakdown below), it wasn't too bad. I guess I just got my hopes up a little bit for a few more 10's and a few more stars getting 9's. The only star that got a 9 was the Fisk.
<< <i>Just over 50% 9s, a couple of 10s, and you're disappointed??!? >>
He's got $350 into the grading fees, another few hundred into the set, and he's got about $450-$550 worth of cards here (I think). If these numbers are accurate, then I would consider this to be a bust, too.
In any event, whether or not it's disappointing is determined largely by what you expected. If you tripped into a 52 Mantle that you were dead sure would be a PSA 9, and it came back a PSA 7, you'd be disappointed-- even though you still had a very nice card.
Just goes to show the graders do not know the .5 scale yet. I had a similar experience. I sent in 30 cards and no half grades. What gives???
"My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. Our childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."

All in all, those are pretty good grades. However, when you consider the grading fees, and the $175 I have in the set, I was just disappointed. I was figuring on the Schmidt getting a minimum of 9, the Yount a minimum of 9 (and it got a 6), the Munson a 9, and I was figuring on at least 5 or 6 more 10's. I guess I was wrong.
<< <i>I can not believe that there is not one 8.5 in the group, are they not going to give them unless they are sure about it?? >>
I'm utterly shocked by this as well. No conspiracy theories abound here, but they don't make any money on grade bump submissions if they give you the half grades the first time.
I believe you totally got nailed. Some of the cards that got 7's seem to be way undergraded. How can any of us send in cards right now if this type of quality is getting 7's. Someone mentioned about a grader of death- it could be real. Sorry to hear about this. I would be interested in buying a few of the stars if they are for sale. Mickey71

I have to agree. I have a big sub waiting to go in but I am afraid to send it.
Solid grades, but I too would question most of those 7's, and 8's. No .5's is very fishy.
My theory,
Graders that have been grading for a long time are still not buying into the .5 system. Thus, some sub's will receive a fair amount of .5's (newer graders) and some sub's will not (older graders).
Just my theory.

<< <i>What's up with the Yount getting a 6? Does it have small crease or something? >>
I have no clue. I thought it was a lock, rock solid 9. Of course, I thought the Munson, and the Schmidt, and the Yaz were lock, rock solid 9's as well.
I just got a 31 card submission back and had the same feeling as you, I pretty much got hammered. Many cards that six months ago would have gotten a grade higher. Then the kicker, 31 cards graded and 1 half grade. How can there be only 1 out of thirty one, I just dont get it.
Well good luck on selling them, hope you get some solid prices on ebay.
Those cards look better than 7! But, I can't say for sure - have ya put a 10x on them?
On the cards - don't sell on ebay - but it seems sales are soft right now? If so - why not just hold onto them and wait for the economy/things to show improvement?
i just got back a 256 card order and got HAMMERED by an idiot grader, and got a total of 1 half grade. I emailed Joe Orlando about the 1 half grade and he did not bother to reply. I guess that's what you get for a $2k submission. unreal.
I also always find it interesting that keys never measure up to the average of the rest of submissions. There are a lot of cards out there that are better than what the holder says IMO.
my last sub i included 2 crackouts that both received lower grades & i have seen so many 8s & 9s floating around e-bay that would NEVER likely get those same grades today.

What is y'alls opinion of the Billy Williams and the Ted Kubiak? I just looked at the pop report and there are ZERO PSA 10's. There is also ZERO PSA 10's on Ted Kubiak.

In any event, whether or not it's disappointing is determined largely by what you expected. If you tripped into a 52 Mantle that you were dead sure would be a PSA 9, and it came back a PSA 7, you'd be disappointed-- even though you still had a very nice card.

About a month ago, I had a 1976 Topps Dave Nelson PSA 10 (pop 2, mine was the second) to sell for $103. Any ideas on those?

I'm utterly shocked by this as well. No conspiracy theories abound here, but they don't make any money on grade bump submissions if they give you the half grades the first time.

lame.
<< <i>I believe you totally got nailed. Some of the cards that got 7's seem to be way undergraded. How can any of us send in cards right now if this type of quality is getting 7's. Someone mentioned about a grader of death- it could be real. >>
I have to agree. I have a big sub waiting to go in but I am afraid to send it.
My theory,
Graders that have been grading for a long time are still not buying into the .5 system. Thus, some sub's will receive a fair amount of .5's (newer graders) and some sub's will not (older graders).
Just my theory.

<< <i>Just goes to show the graders do not know the .5 scale yet. I had a similar experience. I sent in 30 cards and no half grades. What gives??? >>
I just had a 25 card order pop with no half grades too. Although, about half of them were 9s or 10s.

I hate to be obtuse, but I'm not following you.
<< <i>What's up with the Yount getting a 6? Does it have small crease or something? >>
I have no clue. I thought it was a lock, rock solid 9. Of course, I thought the Munson, and the Schmidt, and the Yaz were lock, rock solid 9's as well.

Like the OP, I simply expected both higher-grades, and some .5s.

Agreed. Very odd grades, given the scans.

Should I sell the common PSA 9's as one lot? (a lot of 9 PSA 9's sold for $57 - that's about $6.33 each)
Should I sell them all individually with a low starting bid?
Should I sell them ALL together as a partial set?
Any ideas?
Shane
Well good luck on selling them, hope you get some solid prices on ebay.
I thought your grades were ok.
As for the lack of .5's that seems to be feast or famine.
One guy gets 25% other guys gets 2% no rhyme or reason.
This deal would have been better had the stars graded a lil higher.
Sorry to hear that you are disappointed.

Yes.
Open an EBAY store. Throw those guys on the shelves at
twice the price you would be happy with. Eventually, and
often FAST, they wil sell.
EBAY stores are 24/7/365 savings accounts that perform
magnificently.
Im just guessing but the Fryman and the other one appear to have a slight tilt?
maybe that was the reason?
Steve
Those cards look better than 7! But, I can't say for sure - have ya put a 10x on them?
On the cards - don't sell on ebay - but it seems sales are soft right now? If so - why not just hold onto them and wait for the economy/things to show improvement?
Good luck if you're selling.

tighter standards for sure.
my last sub i included 2 crackouts that both received lower grades & i have seen so many 8s & 9s floating around e-bay that would NEVER likely get those same grades today.
