- Following up on a disastrous PSA submission, here are 27 more vintage cards sent in on the $15/card monthly special. The grades I receive restore a little bit of my faith in my own grading abilities. Enjoy seeing some very nice cards!

There you go man! Much better results. Great collection. Thanks for sharing.
3 PSA 9's on the 81 donruss. When you said 999, I thought this dude's crazy, but you hit the royal flush on the flop. Well done!!!! Clearly you're taking more time with the cards and hitting on much more grades 👍 that's awesome
Thanks for watching! This was definitely a submission I was pleased with. But here's the head-scratching crazy part - this group of cards was sent in 1 week BEFORE my nightmare submission. I got the second group of cards returned first (by a significant amount), with the (IMHO, lol) awful grades. I can't imagine that my own standards changed that much, LOL.
That being said, I am trying to be more conservative as I think I have been too lenient on surface issues and even maybe centering.
@@jbscardshow just remember grading is all a crapshoot especially when you sent it to PSA because they are incredibly inconsistent especially when compared to SGC. I'm not sure why that is but it's just my take on it based on what I've seen.
@@vintagesportscardfinds964 I am in agreement with you at this point in time. Pre-2020 I think was a different story but I find the current state of things less than optimal. (Tying to be super PC here😂)
Yeah, there are HUGE differences in between vintage orders with PSA. They are just sooo bad
I don't think PSA is using OC qualifiers anymore, they just take it down a grade (or more). Thanks for sharing, it makes me feel better when PSA breaks my heart every other submission lol.
Thanks for watching - glad you enjoyed! All of us collectors are in this together, lol. Like I said, this was the first submission I'd sent in in three years, so I don't have a lot of insight into any potential grading standards change (only gut feeling and hobby buzz there). I definitely can't argue for or against your point, since I haven't ever managed to get an O/C sub. Another point I might hammer on someday is PSA's controversial '.5' grades....
It's all about the consistency - gah!!!!
Currently PSA grades 1965's super strict imho for some reason.
60's are honestly not my strength, so I can't argue hard either way - I did think that the Perez grade was harsh, though. I am more familiar and comfortable with 70's, 80's and 90's cards personally - where the significant bulk of my PC is. Thanks for watching!
I have the number five ranked 1980 Topps hockey set on the PSA set registry. I must have opened at least 6 wax boxes and three vending boxes of this year trying to complete it. 1980 T Ray bourque is consistently off center either top to bottom or left to right. Yours is way off center T to B. And even worse the back is miscut. Additionally I see touches of wear on all four corners. In the old days that would probably come back as a 8 (oc) or 8 (mc). PSA has cut back on the qualifiers in the past few years so that's probably why you got a 6.
Your 74 Pete Rose should have definitely got the MC qualifier because of the cut on the back. You got a deal on that.
Thanks for watching and really appreciate the insight on the Bourque! It is not a card I am terribly familiar with (now if you'd like to discuss the 1982 Donruss Cal Ripken Jr - that's a different story, lol). Where on a sheet was Ray at? Typically, cards that have centering issues were near corners (1979 Ozzie Smith for example).
We are in agreement on the Pete!
@@jbscardshow well I finally broke down sent in two submissions at 14.99. to think I used to get bulk rates at 7.99. between the two submissions it's 158 cards total virtually all vintage hockey and most of them commons. I'm talking 62 through 79. Mostly 69 through 74. I shudder to think what I might get under this new regime however historically I have had good luck picking cards out to be graded.
@@garygor1960 Best of luck!!!! Man, I remember those good old days. When I started subbing, Beckett came to my LCS and it was $7/sub given to them right there.
@@jbscardshow I was just looking through my old submission history I had one submission of 350 cards and many over 200 cards. Some awesome stuff. All vintage.
Very good detail on your process. I’m the same way. I give a quick glance or overview of the card. Then without my contact lenses in, I look super close. Upward toward a lamp, then downward so the lamp light illuminates the surface to see wrinkles dimples etc. My cards from March will be here next week and I’ll do a blind reveal too. Nice job again.
Sweet! Give us an update when you get your own video uploaded. The whole surface/light trick is one that I sometimes forget to do when I rush my cards out the door (totally different story there). I have one pretty detailed video out on an SGC submission preview, but I am also working on a REALLY deep dive video right now - stay tuned for that one. Thanks for watching!!
Nice solid reveal, thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed - thanks for watching!
Just saw a 1981 Donruss pete rose 9 OC it looked good just cut t-b so they do qualifiers.
Qualifiers and .5 grades from PSA - they make me scratch my head. Thanks for watching!
earned a new sub love these blind reveals
Thanks for watching! More reveals to come....
Vada .....rhymes with fade
Man, never heard that one and never would have guessed that either.
@@jbscardshow He grew up in Oakland as did Frank Robinson. Both were on the Reds. Vada was a fun player to watch..Lefty Slap hitter; good baserunner, and covered the outfield well.
A PSA 9 Rickey Henderson is always a plus.
And three are even better! Lol. Thanks for watching!
when you expect a 10 or a 9 and get 6 and 7z dont ignore the question mark that goes off in your head cuz its right i send to different company and have had psa 8z gem.something is wrong with psa
You are not the only one with that sentiment! Thanks for watching!
@jbscardshow for sure like video got some nice stuff ...im having better luck with bgs and sgc wish it wasn't that way but is unfortunately
@@the-pokeman7534 BGS was the first company I ever graded with. I still love them for modern, and honestly I think their vintage standards have turned into more realistic.
@@jbscardshow 100% agree
I like when you zoom way in on the card. I just wish you could pause at the fully zoomed in part for like 3-5 seconds for us to view it.
Thanks for watching! I am 100% in agreement with you. Still working on learning the video editing software and refining my style, but this is definitely something I hope to get better at sooner rather than later.
One final bit of constructive criticism - this is the first of your videos that I have watched. You need to be better organized and not jump all over the place. The fumbling around because of your disorganization takes up a lot of time on your video. Time that is precious for everyone. Additionally I wanted to see the 4 McCovey's revealed consecutively.
Thanks for sticking it out! This was an earlier video of mine - still figuring things out on it. Hopefully I've gotten better already (check out some of my more recent reveals!) but I know I'll always have room to improve. While I try to make things flow a little better, one thing I'll always probably end up doing is talking about the cards, though - that's just me.
Oh also - all my reveals are blind so sometimes the order of them is just what it is.
Why would you grade one 79 McCovey let alone 5 of them?
Lol, thanks for watching. The McCoveys all looked pack fresh to me - I think two actually had a shot at a 9. I was wrong, obviously, but a HoF player, 70s card, PSA 9? Worth $15 grading fee all day long. Now again, I missed a bunch, and on top of that when I pulled a lot of these cards for grading- the market was still higher than where it is today. All part of the grading game, though admittedly I generally try to be pretty conservative. I’ve been doing it a while, and still have plenty to learn.
Thanks for the reply. I would not have advices it unless you thought the card looked flawless and eligible for a 10. But no big deal.
stick to what your doing... great job... enjoyed watching the results you got.. I've got enough cards to grade for the rest of my lifetime... big job I've got myself in retirement
By the way that Stargell RC is a 5... loved it.. how about giving CSG a shot at it ? You will get a 5 with them too nut it's value will go to $6 in their case
Thanks for watching! I've got nearly endless PC cards that deserve be graded as well, it's a tough call to actually bite the bullet and send them in due to the cost. Cards for flipping are an easier call to make. I try to send in a mix with submissions.
Not an option at this point - the card sold. I still think it's a 6 lol
I think PSA announced that they no longer do qualifiers, also on the Bourque t/b centering on front and back is off. I think you got lucky with the 74 Rose 7
Thanks for watching! I appreciate the feedback. I wasn't sure on the Borque - I think it's difficult to tell when three borders are identical, but then one is different because of the name/team block design. That and borderless cards! I lean towards agreement with you on the Rose - I sent that one in telling myself I wouldn't be surprised with whatever they came back with due to the cut on the back. Hope you enjoyed!
Please Submit Again. I’m tired of there inconsistent grading. SGC much better service And they don’t worry about the POP report Don’t be humiliated PSA Grading is horse 💩
Thanks for watching! Just filmed my reveal that includes 4 cards re-submitted from this lot. The results are ..... interesting. Stay tuned!
nice to see someone sending some Ozzie in!
Love Ozzie, love the 1980 set. Maybe someday I'll show off his RCs that are in my PC. Thanks for watching!
Buy a centering tool if you can’t figure it out…
Thanks for sharing your results. I have a love hate mentality when it comes to card grading. It's nothing more than some random person making minimum wage in some warehouse opinion, and then encasing the card. Do I still like graded cards....yes....did i just sign up for psa to start grading cards.....yes 😂. Can't wait to do my own reveal vid 🙂
LOL! Love it! It's all part of the game. Thanks for watching - let us know when you get around to posting your own results!
???? why would you grade an older card when it is a 4??? Gotta be worth the same raw and save you 20 bucks.
The cards he got 4’s on are good cards, they should sell for more in a psa holder then raw.
Because the card is really a 6 PSA horrible unworthy of our loyalty
Re: Ray Bourque
I suspect the PSA grader thought the unscratched name (black oval) was a print error. PSA graders don’t know anything about a lot of older cards.
The unscratched name makes the card better actually. PSA is dogs#*@.
I actually hadn't thought about that. I'm like 90% sure I'm going to re-sub that one. Thanks for watching and stay tuned!
Stop being a fool., your only making a grading company rich. The cards should only be appealing to the eye
The background music you play is super annoying. I cant focus on you talking cause im so annoyed by the music. Stop playing the elevator music!
Appreciate the feedback! I agree that I've probably gone overboard with a couple of my early videos as I am just figuring things out - don't worry, it will be scaled back! Thanks for watching and implying that I am actually worth listening to, LOL!
@jbscardshow Dude you don't have to apologize on how to run your channel.
