Just out of curiosity, which slab do you think was more accurate?

this leads to another reason it would be great if they recorded the actual serial number. commons and non-serial numbered cards there is no way to know how many times they have been submitted, but serial numbers you can at least keep track of. The pop reports are so messed up.

good for you OP of getting the bump. I also agree with others for the centering and auto to jump up is just crazy nothing changed on those. corners and surface I could see.

PSA does do this for 1/1 cards. I bought a 1/1 card raw on eBay a couple years ago, sent it to PSA, and they refused to grade because it had been (unbeknownst to me) previously submitted. They ultimately did grade it after I argued with customer service over the phone, but it was a pain in the arse.

To me the auto was a 10. That's why I resub'd it to begin with. Really happy with the results, obviously. I'll be holding on to this one for a while.

On a side note, I don't think the graders are even sure what 10 centering is on 2016 draft is. No standard from what I can tell. It's been brutal.

I think it is crazy that a card comes back 9/9, and I bust it and send it right back and it bumps up to a 9.5/10. I'm happy obvi, but damn man... you gotta think it's just a bit strange no? Thats a huge difference on the bottom line.

The hard part for me is, this is a serialized card, right? How can you change a grade later on something previously graded when it is serialized?
