That is huge on those 88s. Super tough to find those centered and without fisheyes!

It had one common yellow fish-eye by the "E" in his name. It is on a bunch of PSA 10's, so they allow it frequently. People will argue it is not a true PSA 10 because of it, just like the Shaq Topps Gold with the bad print line on it. However, I don't care. It is one of 216 in existence! The Pippen is one of the best PSA 9's out there and it is never leaving my collection. I got an ugly PSA 8 that I sold last year because I got this one raw and I knew it was a minimum PSA 9.

Looking at the insane prices of the Rodman in a PSA 10 I am tempted to sell at this point. Still can't believe I had a raw Rodman and a raw 1984 Fleer Update Puckett both Gem Mint.

I know exactly how you feel. I actually ripped a box of 1988 Fleer two years ago now when it was still somewhat affordable. I sent them in early last year at the beginning of the Last Dance craze nd got them back during the summer. It was the most epic box ever. I couldn't believe it when it popped and wasn't upcharged at all. Sent them in when Economy was still a reasonable turnaround. Unfortunately sold a few way too soon but still have all the 10s.

Thanks everyone. Here is the Pippen and Rodman. I also put the Stockton that I bought for $5 on eBay and graded last year with a voucher. I have great luck with 1988 Fleer besides Reggie Miller, whose cards I buy raw never look that good in person. I have a PSA 9 candidate in bulk right now and if it doesn't grade that high I will have to buy one already graded...

Question. With alot the ultra modern cards going down in value, and submissions done in 2021 just sitting... till the end of the year

Does PSA allow you to cancel submissions outright?

I can imagine on some ultra modern sports BULK submissions, it may make sense to just cancel if possible?

Vaguely remembering see another post saying they were able to cancel their order and have the cards sent back but not 100% sure and what if any there was a charge involved other than return shipping.

Yes - I bought it directly from BBCE. It wasn't labeled as FASC but it definitely wasn't picked through and made up of 36 random packs which was awesome. I think I made two complete sets out of it and got multiples of all the big cards. I wouldn't even think of buying one to rip today. They have cooled a bit but still are probably over $8k / box now. Usually these cards are way OC and riddled with print defects so its worth way more sealed than opened now. I hit the jackpot on that one....

I recently canceled an Express & Regular order. They were VERY efficient. Mine were NOT "entered" yet, as soon as they were in the process of being entered they simply shipped them back, all within 2 days. incredibly fast. BUT getting orders of their books without any additional effort is important too . In short, Yes you can cancel, just email customer service with applicable info. they will respond with a confirmation email and you will have to pay the shipping you agreed upon in the initial submission. I was very happy with this process. lol, of course this was easy right?

N/A
Line # Item # Cert # Grade Description Type
1 1 60695306 NEAR MINT-MINT 8 2019 Panini Donruss Net Marvels 9 JA Morant Card
2 1 60695307 GEM MINT 10 2020 Topps World Series Champion Autographs Wcajs Juan Soto Red Card

4 1 60695309 MINT 9 2018 Topps Update US250 Ronald Acuna Jr. Red and Blue Shirt

First 8 I have gotten in recent memory. The Morant I thought was the cleanest of the bunch. Happy with the Soto, wasn't expecting an on-card auto when I redeemed it but it is. Was expecting the Tatis to 10 as well. Was 50/50 on the Acuna. Not gonna bother resubbing.

This was a "regular" order sent in before the price hike and closure.

One of my TCG quarterly specials received 8/19 went to QA1 this morning to QA2 this afternoon. Offers hope I might get my two Basketball specials back within next 6-8 weeks.

Just got the email saying my economy grades have posted. After over 7 months my first card grading submission is done, wow.

Needless to say I am super excited right now and am debating if I should wait for box or look at grades now?

If anyone can help answer this I would really appreciate it. How long after you get the grades available email are the cards shipped? What is your experiences with that wait time? Days, weeks?

For me it took about a week after grades were posted for them to actually get the box to the post office. They created the shipping label about 4 days before they shipped. I waited to see my grades, I find it exciting to flip it over to see. Truth be told the first time I looked. However it gets easier every time now to wait.

Same here. Got my economy back Saturday and was pretty much right where I thought it would be. Gemmed 9 of the 12 I thought had a chance. Got eight 9’s which I had down as 9’s and then one 8 which was a little of a head scratcher but not too crazy.

Pretty much how mine went. What I though would gem, did. What I thought would get a 9, did. The one card I had that I thought would get an 8, got an 8. A couple upcharges, very happy with the submission.

What did you get upcharged on? I was shocked that my card didn't get one since they list the price at about $3000 for value.
