Sharing 1st time psa grading results

[daverat]

Sent 2 orders in April for sports and non-sports, received today

Thought I'd share, thanks for the look.

Knew the bedards would not gem
Expecting 8s for the trouts

Surprised by the 2 love 10s

Yes, I like wnba cards and have a large collection, forgot I had the brink and Reese


Will open/share non-sports mostly marvel platinum results later

Wow first slab from the non-sports

I'm opening these like a sealed break, I don't remember what I sent in and didn't preview grades when they popped.

Not bad for a first result! Some really great cards!

There are people out there who say it's impossible to tell the difference between a 10 and a 9. Those people should buy cards already graded. You've got a few cards in there I call "tuition", meaning there's a lesson to be learned. Look for a surface scratch on the Witt 6 and most likely less than sharp corners on some of your 9s, perhaps tiny dimples. Good call on the Trout 8s.

I'd be stoked if I was you. Next time your gem rate will be higher and at some point it'll be too high. Congrats!

Thanks for the feedback, I sent the orders as a gauge of what to expect when submitting. I have a 50+ card order in assembly from the May special that I took a more micro look at, expecting a higher gem rate on these. On the Trouts, I figured it was worth sending it in knowing an 8 was expected versus leaving them raw.

I think you rocked it. My first few subs were done with the same goal, learning what to expect.

Good luck on the next batch. My guess is you'll do just fine, and you'll gain even more info.

Insane, here are the next 5 slabs! Has anyone ever had an all gem bulk sub?

More to come

I have seen over 90% from people with orders approaching 100 cards or even over. Most modern TCG and non sports cards gem at a +70% clip.
