      Depends on the time frame when graded. There are many early graded packs that are good. The older label looks like it was during the more than likely legitimate era. Thise cards look crisp too. Definitely 8's, some 9's and maybe a 10 in that pack

    Your handling of the cards as you put them in the card savers is embarrassing - you actually whip the plastic on card #2!
    It is easy to prevent this - put the cards in penny sleeves and cut one of the edges of the card saver for easy insertion (and likely grading with PSA).
    Level up folks! We need to teach new collectors the best practices!

    • @peterchoe
      @peterchoe Před 5 měsíci +1

      for years people grading and handling high end vintage cards never put them in penny sleeves. As someone else pointed out, PSA actively discouraged it for a while. What advantage does a penny sleeve even offer in a card saver? People love to be armchair experts.
