I would tell this person to look at the bright side: getting this kind of a learning experience on $15-$20 cards is a lot better than having gotten it on much more expensive cards

Bummer for the submitter! If I were to guess this is probably there first grading submission and they weren’t to good at determining if there cards are gradable. I suggest maybe giving them advice to go to a local card shop that has grading services and using their pre submission look over service. I would love to see more of these videos in the future, hopefully we get to debate a little more over the grades next time haha.

@@One2ManyCards Unfortunately it wasn’t my first PSA submission. I would say probably my 12th within the last couple of years. I usually don’t do this bad. See my videos posted. But it was my first submission grading 80s cards! Unfortunately I got a little careless assuming cards from a sealed set would not have major flaws like roller dents. I should have used better lighting.,But good painful lesson learned. 🤦🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️

@ @ ok good to know but are you grading for your PC? If you’re not why are you sending them in the first place? Besides the Griffey all the other ones are $10 PSA 9s, and it’s almost impossible to get a 10.

@@One2ManyCards It was for PC but more to see how I do with older cards. See if I can determine between 8s and 9s. Since I have a lot of older cards in my collection was curious how I do. I picked up 4 sealed sets months ago and just figure I submit when they had the special going. Well like I mentioned I did not notice the roller dents which killed me. So a lesson learned that cost me $16 a card LOL! But I get why you are questioning this submission because financially didn't make sense. This was more of an experiment gone wrong.

I bought a handful of 1991 Topps complete sets thinking I could just pull out the top RC and get 10s lol how wrong I was.

80's & 90's Junk wax paper is notorious for the roller lines. Thats why in a 10 they sell for big bucks. I tend to stay away from from grading anything 84-2001 thats paper! As much as I wanted ScamSA to be wrong, they tend to be very very very hard on junk wax & the grades were accurate...I tell customers who send me cards to pre-grade, that unless you want junk wax slabbed for your PC, your going to waste your money. This was a great video to show newbies one of the major flaws thats overlooked in paper cards! Great video as always!!!

For around $10 you can buy an inexpensive jeweler's loupe. It's a game changer when grading cards. Before I sent in my first PSA order I had around 30 cards that looked like they could possible get a 10 to my naked eyes. After very carefully looking them over with the loupe I identified 6 out of the 30 that didn't appear to have any flaws, the rest all had surface issues I couldn't see initially. Out of those first 5 I got 5 10s and a 9.

Good analysis. Geoff Wilson should invite you to his HQ for a card analysis. LOL. One of the cheapest investments I made was a lamp & magnification combo tool which looks like a desktop lamp. The added light and magnification helps out my aging eyes. It's a lot easier to find surface flaws.

Indents are a death sentence to cards. I’ve been going consistently for about 2 years now, and surface seems to be the most scrutinized. I’ve had indents just like this, all 6s as well

This is why I don’t care about grades very much for my collection. These cards that get hammered for weird surface stuff present great and sell for a tiny fraction of what “mint” copies go for. Growing up no one would’ve noticed or cared about those roller indents. I bet you can find PSA 10s of these cards with same exact indents in older slabs

Here is the skinny with PSA or other grading companies. One it's a human element with lord knows how many employees, so an exact card in he exact condition will get a different grade, especially so if an employee is having a bad day, the WILL NOT get a 10. Two PSA is notorious for keeping pop counts down. Why, cause if there are say 100 Gem Mint 1980 Henderson's then the value will not be as much. And three I'd be and give odds that really big name prominent collectors are gonna get better grades than some Joe Blow.
