7s and 8s are most common grades for the 80s and early 90s cards even if you think they look great. So getting a 9 is a big hit and 10 is like a dream hit. I've graded many 80s and 90s cards and i use an 8 as what to hope for and anything better is really great.

For both orders, I went through every card front and back w/ a centering tool, magnifying glass, used microfiber cloth to wipe them down, etc. I probably went through 50 cards for each order before picking out the best 20-25. Out of all of the cards, there were three that I knew going into it had minor edge issues, and those cards got 9s like I expected. However, they handed out 9s like they were going out of style ... and these are all modern cards, like 2023 Bowman Chrome Sapphire, 2022 Topps Chrome Platinum Anniversary, and many cards that came directly from Topps. Not only that, they gave every card that numbered 25 and below a 9 ... Shohei Ohtani Bowman Sapphire Base ... PSA 10. Shohei Ohtani #/25 ... PSA 9. Gunner Henderson Base ... PSA 10 ... Gunner Henderson #/10 ... PSA 9. They turned $3K worth of cards into $500 worth of cards. I had a sweet Julio Rodriguez Topps Stadium Club case hit #/50. They gave it an 8 and encased it with the penny sleeve still on it ... Bottom Line: how can you give a modern sports card that's perfectly centered, sharp corners, sharp edges, and no surface issues a 9? I'm going to end up cracking open most of them open.

I have some very very nice pack pulled 80s cards that came back as 7s or 8s with one 9. They are near mint at least, but i feel worth less ungraded. They have 9 maybe 10 eye appeal. It was the last time i used psa. Ive been submitting since the 90s. I agree, it feels they are stingy with their 10s if it isnt a newer card.

geez, I've been contemplating getting very similar rookies from the mid 80s to early 90s for a few years now and I'm not sure the investment into the slabs would be worth it. Half of those cards you got graded are the same ones I have put aside in card savers waiting to get graded but I'm still on the fence.

Great vid! PSA is lacking bigtime, your first card shown (Griffey Jr.) is off center in its slab, really off center. I've been having a hard time with PSA's quality as of late. Specialty cards like Mother's Cookies, Hostess bakery and Total Cereal cards produce in limited volumes but have crappy card stock.

How many cards do the grader damage? What is the recourse? Like what if you submit a perfect Rookie Rickey that should be a 9or 10 and comes back 7 w/a finger corner YOU KNOW wasn’t there, wtf do u do about it? I hear that going with a bulk submitter company gets better grading, that true in general? Seems like they literally closed the door on pre-80’s 10s no matter how great they may be. It feels a lot like “holding” in the NFL, where you can ALWAYS find something to justify calling holding on someone. The same as you could literally take ANY 10 as no find some tiny reason to make it a 9. EVERY ONE OF THEM. Anytime you mix money and judging, there will be done element of dishonesty being attempted. Like, whoever just invested in a rookie Rickey 10, they don’t want PSA to grade any more 10s. THE graders being mindful of the impact their 10 grades might have on the value of low-pop-10 cards automatically creates a conflict of interest in the mind of the grader. Like if they know there is no 10 grade for a 1962 card, and they get one, they will be looking for reasons it can’t be a 10. This is why AI, in this respect, would be superior to human beings. As far as the technical aspects like percentage of original surface ink remaining on a card. And relativity when comparing cards, using a curve grading for each individual card. I have a 7” screen microscope, which is pretty awesome for checking corners and edges, even sideways in the edges, which my microscope allows for room to turn cards on edge. Even perfect looking corners often have micro creasing, which I believe is from putting the cards in sleeves and pockets and removing them from sleeves and pockets. Basically any time you touch a card, assume you have micro-damaged it in some fashion. If a card is moving in the open air it is dying and vulnerable. Looking at cards through a low magnification let’s you really see what a legit sharp corner looks like and a faux one. Some are truly pristine white filling all the way to the edges with no edge cracking, which is hard to find 4 of those corners in like a 78 topps Baseball card. Under magnification they all look bad, so you look at it through a curve. Like anything, you adjust interpretation of what is good and not good. Old cards are usually littered with tiny ink splatter marks all over, which the naked eye doesn’t pick up. Until you see it magnified, and then you can kind see it w the naked eye. It tells you where to look closer. The problem with it is you start thinking nothing can be a ten. I would LOVE to be able to get 8, 9 &10 grades from the same card 15 years apart and examine them all to see how they stack up to each other. Meaning is a 10 from ‘03 like a 10 from ‘23? Or is it like a 9 from ‘23? Or vice versa? Someone needs to audit the graders so we know if we’re talking apples to apples. Do they put a “date graded” anywhere on the slabs?

So, I take it PSA doesn’t send back any information or a report per se on what they found on each card as to why it gets the grade it gets? That seems like a bunch of BS. I literally have over 50k cards in my garage, mostly unopened packs of Baseball, Basketball, Hockey and NFL, all late 80’s to late 90’s, and I haven’t a clue as to where to start for grading. Is BCCG better than PSA?
