MY BIGGEST PSA SUBMISSION HAS RETURNED! (Blind Reveal with PSA 10 Comps!) 🙈

How Did I Do? 🤔
For $16 per card, I sent 62 cards to be graded by PSA via their New Years Special, which was exclusive to PSA Collectors Club Members. After one month, they are back in my hands and I have no idea what grades I got. This submission contains cards from Tom Brady, Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow, Justin Herbert, Jalen Hurts, Trevor Lawrence, C.J. Stroud, Anthony Richardson, Bryce Young and many more! Today, I am blindly revealing the grades from PSA for you guys. I would ask you for luck, but not sure what good that would do me at this point! I hope you enjoy!

Thank you all for your support! 💗

[@mikestahlman8225]

I 100% agree its easy to get lackadaisical when looking thru that many cards. I've found my submissions are worse when I spend too much time looking at cards. It helps me to set aside what I want to send. Then right before I send them, I take another look.

[@scotthenderson4088]

Congrats on the stacks of 10s including a few of those that just make your order as a 10! It's live and learn. I still have cards I grade and miss stuff or still have no clue why something got a bad grade. It's fun though! Great reveal! Have a wonderful weekend!!

[@flyingchimp12]

A good way to make these videos better is to show the current price of it raw vs psa 10 vs whatever grade it got. Probably too much work to be worth it though lol

[@crispee5265]

Some great cards in your submission, hey anything over 60% gem rate is good. Thanks for sharing!

[@brentshealer7314]

Great stuff as always, PSA reveals are always a nervous and fun ride. I just did an 82 card one, I may be insane.

[@camposrafael59]

Awesome cards brotha!!! You the man!!!

[@mtnlakecardgaming]

Great video. I have the same issues with large submissions-sometimes I miss obvious stuff because my eyes start to cross looking through the loupe for too long.

[@mattmcneil3718]

This is why I prefer the BGS grading method because they basically tell you where you went wrong

[@danielkriefall5881]

Congrats on the 10's, always a gamble some products are tough grades, but part of the hobby is ripping fin packs, take care, have a great weekend with your family

[@tommys2339]

Nice Submission I'm a Dolphins fan so glad to see the good grades on Tua and Hill. 65% is great. See you on the next one.

[@aaronbbreaks1814]

Holy stack slab!! Lol, nice return guys! Lots of 10's!!

[@flyingchimp12]

I like the way you analyze the cards afterwards

[@bigkevo4x4]

Cool video 🤟 I sent in my first submission, hoping not to get a single 8!😅

[@jeffmcdonald269]

Great video. Still trying to convince myself to do my first submission.

[@AK-Media-Man]

Thank You for sharing that was a good outcome a lot of 10s .I will be doing my first video & reveal in 60 days right here on youtube .

[@markthompson7503]

Congrats on the 10's

[@yazeedsaban3258]

Nice hits there bro

[@ScaryTerryCards]

Very nice grades for the most part.

[@CDubRealTalk]

The green Anthony Richardson was cut crooked. Didnt realize this was a thing until a got one back

[@mikestahlman8225]

Lmao! We never anticipate an 8 pile :) It sucks when it happens, and it happens to all of us at one point

[@BSAcards]

Man I gotta send some cards in! Great video man I was waiting for this one!

[@kenscardboard]

A lot of the big cards were 10’s. So that was a pretty good return. The Randy Arozarena was awesome! Bummer on the Posey rookies.

[@paulharkabus4148]

Lol, spent 2 hrs going thru 100 cards and surprised to have missed blemishes etc. Bro, i spend about 2 weeks going thru 50 cards to narrow down to 25ish cards. I STILL miss things

[@SlickShoes]

Centering is to the right on the rear of the green AR. Not sure if that + the corner is a reason for an 8 or not but the centering is definitely noticeable.

[@mangobango6970]

Just a suggestion but when looking for print lines, look at the card under natural light AND a artificial lamp light. I've noticed things in natural light that seem to disappear when I look at it under a lamp.

[@RawCardTom]

Way solid cards!

[@pamn1220]

Im getting ready to send my first submission in, cj green pulsar/orange laser/base prizm- some wembys green laser/prizm base- elly HFA/foilboard/royal blue- few autos and a sp copper glitter optic paulo # not really sure what to look for other than corners, centering, print lines, do you recommend taking to a card shop to have prepped or just do my best myself and send them in? Thanks for any advice!

[@BostonSportsFan33]

Some great cards!!! Congrats!Look at all your cards, centering, surface, all of the above to make sure that they get the grades they deserve and you shouldn’t have to worry about them coming back with unreasonable grades.✌🏻

[@acesup2537]

I used to send like 40 at a 50 at once but it’s much easier for me now to do 10 at a time take a break and do 10 more. Then submit 4 or 5 different 10 card orders.

[@mnplumberman]

I read on PSA they allow for some minor printing imperfections. My understanding is a single dimple or a very small print line can be forgiven. The problem is one grader may hammer you for it and one may not. So many times I see something on a card I missed on the 2nd or 3rd look at it. Unless it is for the PC and I don't care about the value, I stopped sending anything that won't at least break even with a 9 after grading fees.

[@TheShelltrack]

Wow, you got lucky with the grader!! That zebra Brady was way off center, and they still gave it a 10?!? We can clearly see some other ones are also off-center that got a 10 as well. Any card with a paper back without a super sharp corner on the back will most likely get a 9 or less. There's a trick to tell if a card is centered by the design on the card. The Justin Jefferson Elite Rookie card was way high on centering if you look at the purple on the corners, the top is much thinner than the bottom part of the design. But keep the footage coming, brotha! 😀

[@woodconnection7899]

Did some of your cards get damaged after you sent them off?

[@Kohnbread19]

I sent 3 submissions in post sale, totaling 76 cards. I managed a 59% gem rate, with 2 flukey 6s, 5 8s and the rest being 9s or 10s

[@sreser111]

lots of my mosaic cards were dented on the backs and i did not notice it at all.

[@Kingkard123]

Do they eat is half grades or do you have to pay extra for that?

[@Randizzl3]

What’s the cost to grade all those ?

[@coltoncyr2283]

Ain't cheap. That's why getting a 9 or less can hurt LOL.

[@DamnJohnnyV_]

Just got a 28 card sub today. 67% Gem. No 8’s Pop control no doubt. I knew better than to send 4 of the same card in. Guess how it worked out? 2- Gems and 2 Mints. Your grader is definitely doesn’t collect Herbert and collects Tua. The grades show

[@johnshoemaker234]

Congrats on getting Nikki's card a 10! I just hope she don't ever have an argument with the guy 😂

[@Kingkard123]

And yes on the C.J’s they were print lines

[@ratedRamsey]

That's an amazing ratio!!!

[@stephenduell5410]

Well Ian your grades prove there was no favoritism and you just convinced me to stick to my guns and never send cards in for grading.

[@srjwildcat3589]

Well, what can you do? Thought you had an "in" with PSA? 😅 Thanks for sharing! 🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈 Take Care/Stay Safe ✌

[@airmanlewis22]

Honest question, why did it seem like you noticed so many imperfections in just a few seconds of seeing your cards again? Do you think their process brings out flaws once/if they clean them up nice?

[@brettakasaki1612]

Impressive gem rate... Anything over 50 percent nowadays is a win.

[@ericottiano4885]

If anyone ever sell card at a card show do upcharge the buyer because you had to pay gradings because that happened to me with a purdy rookie and I ended up not buying it

[@dash9658]

JJ on the Bengals. They'd be spending $120 mil per year for 3 players. The rest of there team would have to be on Rookie Deals and Vet Minimums. LOL

[@Jordybuilt]

Need that zebra J Mo

[@michaelbage-cravin721]

I sent in a Brady rookie to PSA, that I know was at least a 9. I made sure the corners were sharp, and it came back with a corner all dinged up and gave me an 8. I am sure someone had to have dropped it at PSA. No one would ever admit it.

[@FootballLeagueAFSWJ-fi9qc]

Where do you get it?

[@jasonward3295]

I have a complaint in with PSA right now on 2 cards I got back, first one has a massive indention right up the middle, like your Nico card. No way I would ever send that in, another card has a huge crease on the back of it, again no way IU send that. They were back to back in the order. Seeing a lot of this stuff, even though PSA told me the cards are constantly monitored with video, from opening to slab. Even if they see something, you think they would actually tell you?

[@finsup4717]

You selling the tua???

[@kristygoodwin9160]

Wat if the print line is on the very end

[@Hectekk]

I could see some white corners on many of your 9's. Keep an eye on that.

[@Jordybuilt]

Weird that the J Mo XRC didn’t state it was a XRC

[@BuckeyeByBirth]

Do they not have half grades anymore? (8.5, 9.5, etc.)

[@bigdirections]

Donruss cards seem softer to me. Maybe check corners?

[@johnpopeko]

If you want to sell the 8 & 9's I would be interested in all of them

[@petergarcia8104]

I want that Jordan Love :(

[@jchao003]

The green AR is a touch off center too. Sad you got an 8, but for the sake of PSA’s grading quality standards it’s ok.

[@TheTopLoader]

🔥

[@lofiwire7917]

I started grading cards in 1998 and its crazy to me that collectors these days are disappointed with Mint 9's

[@changedman7627]

A 2,000 dollarPSA 10 would be worth 150 in a 9…. A lot has changed… the hobby almost considers anything less than 10 worthless

[@lofiwire7917]

@@changedman7627 sad

[@coltoncyr2283]

Dude got a 9 w a print line? Hmmmm shht maybe I might send my cards in 😂 "no way they get less than a 9" I said to myself

[@doppleganger3496]

This was either a stingy grader or just some stuff on the back. I did notice a little whitening (assuming it’s not light) on some corners. Hypothetically, those print lines shouldn’t really affect your grade too much because some of them are actually within PSA standards.

[@travis88cards]

Amazing. I have a sub that was the January special. Arrived to them feb 5, order prep Feb 12th and it’s still in grading 🥲

[@matthewhabighorst5196]

If you sell that giddy card I would be intrested

[@vintiquesokc]

Don't screen grab the images from psa, there is a download button. A screen grab would downgrade the quality dramatically.

[@L3tsFnGoDumDuM]

I’d love to get cards graded but I never get anything worth grading

[@changedman7627]

Even if you did 70 percent straight out the box won’t even make it to grade… I bought hobby boxes and corners banged up on every single hit.

[@dunkboy96]

Man if only psa gave subgrades and explained why the perfect cards got 9’s 😂

[@Rauld2608]

Those lines in the card are not considered print lines I don’t know why people call them that. I’ve gotten and seen 100s of 10s with those bold lines in the card from factory

[@Rauld2608]

I’ve also had cards that were to too big to fit in mags strange ultra pro 35pt mags but other cards have fit in same one 😮

[@ryanhater138]

Centering on the green strouds are bad!

[@ochogonzalezR8R]

Wow…. That Brady zebra got a 10? The centering is way off. PSA does a really good job at pissing people off.

[@masonmatthews1226]

Young # match 9?😂

[@thomasgary1185]

Photogenic is a hard grade

[@rickyburretta]

Your not gonna see the imperfections with your naked eye those guys that grade them get paid a lot of money a 10 mint condition means just that it’s a perfect card they magnify it by like 50 times lol

[@Kiwicards]

Disapointed his base got a 9 unreal grade cards worth grading

[@broncosbreaks]

I still feel PSA too freely gives 10’s for grades. BGS can be a pain (my last sub I got no 10’s and 6 9.5’s on 10 cards graded),but at least they’re accurate and fair. Dimples on cards and they’re still getting a 10?!

[@mattherzstein5616]

BGS 9.5s are the same as PSA 10

[@broncosbreaks]

@@mattherzstein5616 I can tell you from experience, it doesn’t feel the same lol

You need to try TAG grading!! Way better thn psa. They tell and show you what's wrong with the card online!! Done with lasers! No humans..Slabs look better as well!! 👍🏼 👌🏼 🔥

[@mjh8492]

Imagine being in 2024 and thinking PSA has any rhyme or reason for giving you a 9 or 10 lol. It's some underpaid worker who's going through cards at a wreckless pace. People seriously thinking they studying your $40 card and making some tough decisions lmao. I know you have some relationship with PSA but you should be real with the people.

[@celek702]

Imagine being pressed by a PSA submission video lol…. Clearly seems you have been hurt by PSA before by the looks of it 😂

[@mjh8492]

Imagine reading a comment and feeling the burning desire to have to respond. We could do this all day. You took time out of your day the same way I did.

Do they say why they are rated down? They should for what you are paying.

Why is this guy mad that someone got a 65% gem rate? Hey buddy I got 82.5% on my last sub, are you mad at me now 😢

[@BigDirtDawg]

@user-mr6pp9qg6bcool story but I know for a fact that psa controls the population on certain cards. Not so much on ultra modern but definitely on older 90’s Jordan’s

[@keith2056]

When is everyone going to realize that TAG is literally the only grading company that is worth it any longer. You can look up exactly why I card got a grade it did and it's not just some random guys opinion. I literally can't stand PSA and the only reason why people use them is the thought that they will be worth more but when you actually look up sales TAG is sometimes 35 percent higher

Please if you have any base Justin Jefferson rookie cards will you please send at least one of them to me I will give you my shipping address I have zero rookie cards of my favorite player in the NFL because he was drafted in 2020 and I started back up in the card collecting Hobby towards the end of 2021 so I still do not even have some of the main rookies from 2021 such as Trevor lawrence, Micah parsons, jamarr Chase, those are just a few that I do not even have a base rookie for out of the 2021 as I was only able to get 2! "select blasters"(2021) 😢 and have ZERO "BASE ROOKIES" EVEN of (2020) Justin jefferson, my favorite player in the NFL, Joe burrow, Justin Herbert, Jordan love, Jalen hurts, basically any of the 2020 rookies that are big names much less any rookies from 2020, so like I said if you have any base cards of any of those players that you have extras of I would literally be the happiest person in the entire world if you even sent me a base rookie card of any of those players but most important to me would be the Justin Jefferson and Joe burrow if I had to pick only two rookie cards that I could get out of all the players I mentioned from 2020 - 2021 respond back please if you can make it happen I have asked numerous people for just a base rookie card wasn't asking for anything special like a parallel or a numbered card or Auto just a base rookie card and nobody is willing to give me even one Justin Jefferson card! This is another way of growing your channel and ways you've never imagined I will promote your channel so much if you make this happen I will help you so much thank you Ian I love your videos and I love your ideas and I wish I could pick your brain one day and hang out and rip some cards with you! I am assuming you live in Minnesota because Nikki is a Vikings fan and you have that Vikings coin you flip and I am in Minnesota so like I said I would love to meet up with you too and go to a card show sometime soon if you are interested please message me back or if you're not interested in meeting up and just wanting to send me a base rookie card of any of those names I mentioned, you would seriously make my entire day / life thanks again Ian!!!👊💯✌️
