Anyone have experience about how to estimate the grade they might recieve? They are so different and in black and white I just don't know how to guess what's worth submitting. Same question for the super sized cards that have the rounded edges. Both are Topps 1970ish. Any scans demonstrating what a 6, 7 or 8 might look like?

Thanks for reading.

    Hi Russell,

    Here's a LINK to a few sold and unsold PSA 8s just to give you an idea on the looks.

    Here's a few PSA 7s and a few PSA 6s.

    I have no personal experience with them, but it appears that they must be very consistent with the edges, around the entire card, in order to receive high grades.

    Good Day,
    I have had personal experience, expect Low Grades due to Surface scratching and other almost invisible flaws in the photography part. Mine all came in 3-5 grades lower than expected and I am not a neophyte! I will never sub any of these again, I did two rounds, the second with even better cards and the came back the same. And I Cracked out a Clemente and it came back lower the second time.

    I have two Yaz cards I is submitted. One's an 8, the other is a 5, and I have to look at the label to tell them apart.

    I agree with Neil. The biggest problem that is missed with these cards are the surface scratches. They are not as easily seen on the black and white Deckle Edge cards. The corners are rounded so you will have little problems there.

    I have subbed both the Deckle and Supers and done terrible on both. As above I have no idea what they are knocking off for. I ended up buying PSA 8's and I still cant tell a difference. In any case I will no longer submit either.
