45 card bulk PSA Reveal

PSA value bulk submission, decent gem rate. Overall this was one of my favorite submissions I’ve sent in to date. Some cool cards from the 2000s and 2010s. Bit of ultra modern in there too but not as much as I usually submit. Most cards that I intend to sell will get listed on eBay.

Very nice order! Love that McCaffrey gold optic 🔥 Great time to get that one back. Some very nice hits! Sorry about the Ohtani’s…I imagine they’re going to be tight on those for awhile to keep the pop down a bit.

[@macstener5295]

Appreciate it! That centering on those Ohtani’s is basically 60/40 left to right. Lots of copies that look like that too. Got a little to comfortable sending those in expecting it to pass as a 10. PSA came out with their reports not to long ago and that bowman card was one of the highest graded cards last year. So it’s probably a good one to stay away from. Thanks for watching!

Helluva return brotha! Love the cards! I can't believe the Brady Victory rookie went from a psa8 to a psa10, thats crazy! Not much consistency with them huh. By the way, do u do group submissions or whatever? Trying to find someone trustworthy to submit thru

@@robertbennett6801 good ole PSA haha. And no I just submit my own cards.

[@nickturner7206]

Overall a lot of 10’s! Do you do anything in particular to prep you cards for grading?

[@macstener5295]

Just clean them up if need be and do what I can to make sure the corners, edges and surface are as good as they can be. Also go through a decent amount of cards to find ones that are 9 and 10 worthy is probably the biggest thing. Overall nothing out of the normal id say anyway. Appreciate you watching.

Wow. Your amount of 10’s staggering! I feel like PSA has been getting tougher to gem recently but you’re def proving that theory wrong. Are you buying ag card shows or RAw on eBay? I got killed in my last PSA submission

[@macstener5295]

Primarily eBay, some at shows and shops too. As long as you get a consistent grader it helps. 9s and 10s can usually go either way and the vast majority of 10s have some issues. But I should have an idea of what the card is worthy of getting. So ultra modern I’ll send in cards that I know should be a 9 or 10. The 90s and 2000s stuff a lot of that I send in hoping for 8-9s, some are 10 worthy but just harder to find. Trying to put together a Vintage submission now too and it’s so hard to look at cards and try to determine if a card is a 3 or 5 or what lol but I’m enjoying it. But PSA can just be inconsistent, to much volume and employees. I haven’t noticed the grading change really but you can definitely have a bad order where a grader just leans towards 9s on everything. Just knowing what your card should be goes a long way.

@@macstener5295 thanks for taking the time to reply! I did have quite a number of 90’s in my last order but even got a 5 and a 6 on cards that I thought were probably 8’s. Maybe need to get my eyes checked too tho lol do you ever crack and reslab with PSA? I’ve only tried once and hit a 10 on a Jordan but got killed on a few 9’s too so I was reticent to retry. 90% of the cards I keep for the PC but so gratifying to hit 9’s on older cards and 10’s on current

[@macstener5295]

@@MattyBoy23 yeah I crack out a decent amount. If I’m confident in the condition and it’s worth it. Its all just the opinion of a certain grader. It doesn’t really bother me to much though because it goes both ways. Especially now a days, I feel like I get so many more cards that are over graded. A lot of these graders let so many surface scratches on flaws go and give it a PSA 10. I usually get rid of that stuff. And when I buy PSA slabs I inspect the card and buy the card not the grade because there’s just so many 10s out there that don’t have good eye appeal at all. I’ll take a 9 that looks like a gem over a 10 that looks like crap any day.

2020 young guns especially series 1 are very hard to grade

[@macstener5295]

For sure! Makes a 10 that much sweeter I suppose. I struggle with 2020. Specifically Jason Robertson young guns. What’s up with a lot of copies having rounded corners and very few having sharp corners? It had to be a factory thing, they don’t have wear on them or anything. They are just slightly rounded. Not sure if it was a hobby vs retail thing or just different print runs or what. I assumed they were produced like that and have gotten a lot of 9s and 8s. But if you look at 9 and 10 examples on eBay, the rounded ones don’t make it into 10 holders.
