Surprising & fun PSA vintage cards submission reveal with a sharp Rickey Henderson minor league card

[@alyn6242]

Nice Hendu ! First time I have seen that. I recently sent in a Rickey 1980 Topps to PSA Tokyo and got back a solid '8' grade. I also sent the same 71 Ryan you have and earned a '5.' My LCS guy in here in Japan guessed an '8' so I have to admit I had higher expectations but the card is similar to yours so who knows? Anyhow, love the diversity in your order ! Bands and the like etc.....

Thanks! Love the minor league Henderson, a great card! The 80 too, of course. Nice score on the 8. Tough card to get higher. Same with the Ryan. Super tough. I was disappointed in the 4 but oh well. Relatively new to grading and mid grade cards are particularly hard for me to judge. Thanks for watching!!

Nice stuff! How much that submission run ya and how long was the turnaround??

Thanks, Murph. Good questions. Turn around time was long. It was a spring special from March 2024, and was probably about $20 per card. I sent it in last week of March, and it came back first week of August. I heard from others who submit often that when PSA does specials, it's best to send the cards in ASAP, as they get backed up with orders from everyone submitting at beginning of month when specials hit. And that seems legit, as I know people who sent cards in at the beginning of March and got them back much sooner than I did.
