On some of the cards, I got what I hoped for. There were a few though, that I don't know what they were looking at. My comments are at the end of each grade.
1 1 16204154 VERY GOOD 3 1909-1911 T206 SWEET CAPORAL MILLER HUGGINS PORTRAIT - Was hoping for a 4, ok with a 3.
2 1 16204155 EXCELLENT 5 1939 PLAY BALL 6 LEO DUROCHER - Just what I thought.
3 1 16204156 VERY GOOD-EXCELLENT 4 1939 PLAY BALL 53 CARL HUBBELL - Can't remember.

7 1 16204160 VERY GOOD-EXCELLENT 4 1952 TOPPS 26 MONTY IRVIN BLACK BACK - Wasn't sure. Had razor sharp corners, but was o/c. Thought at least 5 or 6.
8 1 16204161 N1: EVIDENCE OF TRIMMING 1954 TOPPS 8 BOBBY YOUNG - Whatever. I thought lock 8.
9 1 16204162 EXCELLENT 5 1957 TOPPS 95 MICKEY MANTLE - Was hoping for a 5 and got it.
10 1 16204163 EXCELLENT+ 5.5 1959 TOPPS 350 ERNIE BANKS - Was hoping for a 5, got a 5.5.

14 1 16204167 GOOD 2 1959 FLEER TED WILLIAMS 43 1951-LEADS OUTFLDRS IN DOUBLE PLAYS - WHAAATTTTTT????? I was hoping for (I'm serious here) a 9!
15 1 16204168 NEAR MINT-MINT 8 1961 TOPPS 20 ROBIN ROBERTS - Thought it was a 7 actually. I'm good with an 8.
16 1 16204169 EXCELLENT-MINT 6 1961 TOPPS 150 WILLIE MAYS - I thought this card was a lock 7 and a great shot at an 8. Don't know what they were thinking here.
17 1 16204170 EXCELLENT-MINT 6 1961 TOPPS 160 WHITEY FORD - I thought this was a lock 8!!!!!! With an outside shot at a 9 (seriously!) I about threw my mouse threw the computer screen.

23 1 16204176 NEAR MINT-MINT 8 1982 TOPPS TRADED 109T OZZIE SMITH - These 3 Ozzie cards were identical, in my humble opinion. Thought lock 9, with shot at 10.

29 1 16204185 GEM MINT 10 1983 DONRUSS 586 WADE BOGGS - I guess I will have to settle for the 10.

32 2 16204189 MINT 9 1987 FLEER 604 BARRY BONDS - One out of 2 ain't bad.
33 1 16204190 MINT 9 1989 FLEER GLOSSY 602 JOHN SMOLTZ - An absolutely perfect card sits in a 9 holder.
33 2 16204191 MINT 9 1989 FLEER GLOSSY 602 JOHN SMOLTZ - Make that 2 perfect cards in 9 holders.
34 1 16204192 NEAR MINT-MINT 8 1989 UPPER DECK 1 KEN GRIFFEY JR. STAR ROOKIE - I figured 8 or 9. Toss up.
35 1 16204193 MINT 9 2007 TOPPS 130 ALBERT PUJOLS - This card is freakin' impossible!!!!! I have bought over 60 of these things. I've sent in 6. All 6 came back 9's.

36 3 16204197 GEM MINT 10 2009 TOPPS 290 ALBERT PUJOLS - So far I still need 01 and 07.

But you see that you did get some 10s.
Grading cards cost money, so it is only worthwhile to submit potential 10s on modern stuff. The vintage stuff might be worth it if its simply authentic without being doctored.
