    I think that any card graded below 9 should require an explanation from PSA. They should have to tell you exactly what caused the low grade. I honestly believe they do it just so you’ll break them open and try again. That way they make even more money.

    That's why I don't like PSA. They don't tell you why the card got a low grade, if it was the Centering,??, or the Corners??, or the Surface??... Would like to know exactly why the cards got a low grade.... Even why the 9 are not 10's and what made it a 9. It would be a whole lot better to everyone in the Card Community if PSA told you why the Card got a a low grade.

    A few things that will really, really help you with choosing what cards to submit: -Use a jeweler's loupe (5x magnification or better) to look over the front and back surface. I can guarantee most of the cards where you can't figure out how they got a 7, 8 or 9 are because of some minor ding or scratch not noticeable by the naked eye -Look at the front and back of the card under a white light - any dings, scratches, creases or faint print lines not caught with the jeweler's loupe will be noticeable this way -Try to measure centering by at least 1/16th of an inch increments, BOTH the top/bottom and left/right sides - you need at the worst 60/40 centering on the front, but if there are any minor dings on the card or questionable corners, PSA will likely require 55/45 centering to give the card a 10 -Check the corners, front AND BACK. If you notice any slight crease or bend, you're not getting a 10 - very likely an 8 at best In addition, there are ways to clean up your cards before submitting that may help with scratches / dings / corner issues that don't involve any type of alteration that would disqualify the card from grading. Searching youtube for tips on this would be beneficial **Editing for one last helpful piece of advice: unless you pull a rare / expensive card that you are trying to get graded and on the market ASAP for that sweet, sweet seller's premium, always try to compare your card against others of the same type that have received 10s. You can try to find pictures of other 10s on eBay or PSA itself. You may notice the printing / stamping is slightly off on your card compared to a 10. The best example of this is 2020 prizm cards - at the bottom of the card there is an impression surrounding the nameplate. A lot of these impressions are off center on 2020 prizm cards and will grade lower because of it. Sometimes the grader will miss this, but more often than not they will catch it. The same impression is around the "RC" chevron at the top of the card - if this is off too, it likely won't grade a 10.**

    @@orlandovillarreal5197 Doesn't really matter, just your personal preference and what you think you'd be most comfortable using. I use a handheld with a light, but some people like using the overhead one or one that clamps onto your table. The magnification and good lighting is really what matters - I've heard PSA uses a 10x loupe, but that's overkill in my opinion. A 5x loupe will reveal everything you need to see, or at least it has in my experience.

    Agreed. I just reviewed 100 cards and I know what I’m looking for. I only felt comfortable sending 37 after all the reviewing. All this modern stuff has tons of scratches, dings and corner bumps. If you don’t know what you are looking for then you think you have clean cards but they are 8-9 range at best. Also psa can be all over the place so it’s a toss up when you grade either way. Bowman chrome is terrible for surface issues, paper cards always have soft corners. Prizm has tons of scratches on the back. Good luck grading

    @@nsv_sportscards9158 Same. I started with a 250+ card submission, I'm under 100 cards at this point. I only send in cards that have a chance at a PSA 10 - everything PSA 9 and under nowadays sells for around raw money anyway, so I don't see the point (for profit purposes). I'm strictly looking for 10's to get that 3x (ish) bump in price. I'm typically between 70 and 80 % PSA 10 rate using the methods and suggestions that you and the OP mentioned. You have to put in the work on the front end, if you don't want to waste money and be stuck holding a bunch of $20 PSA 6's. Best of luck y'all!

    @@OleLockAndKey Yes I agree with you and NSV, if you are looking to get 10s in order to try to turn a profit, you really have to be willing to put in the time and effort to thoroughly look them over. Even then don't expect everything you've carefully looked over to get a 10 (or even a 9) - everyone makes mistakes and misses stuff. And sometimes you just get a very harsh grader. But the more you learn and work at it, the better you will get at it 👍👍

    Yeah I’ve been on a Pokémon card binge lately and if you look at them under a jeweler’s loupe (mine is a 16X I believe) there are def small indentations/craters throughout many of the cards. The quality control seems to an issue for many of the sword and shield cards. I’m not 100% how the sports cards are manufactured but I know the Pokémon cards are essentially layers of paper (paper, foils, holographic depending on what cards) that they lay over each other and press together. I feel like the little divot’s are created due to this process (they’re not getting pressed together smooth enough). As far them affecting the grading score I’m not sure if the graders look for them or not but if so then I can def see that affecting the final grade. I never really thought about whether they affect scores or not I always just assumed that all the cards have microscopic divots like that in them (maybe not I guess I’ll have to look harder 🤷‍♂️)

    Wow that’s a big submission! Dang! I hope I don’t get the same grader on my next submission! Look at your cards closely! Check for any dings that you didn’t notice before. I got back a 6 and 8 on two cards and it had dings in the back that I know it didn’t have before. I feel like maybe they could get damaged during grading 🤷🏽‍♂️ Maybe do a log on all your cards before sending in and take pictures. I did that for my last submission. For example, card #1 centering slightly off but within 60/40. No surface issues, etc. But I would recommend breaking the slabs and resubmitting. I’m in the process of doing so with two cards I know is better than what grade they got.

    I used gotbaseballcards for my last submission and spent a little over $1k for 24 cards that passed their free screening. 7 of my cards did not pass their screening and saved me about $200 that would have been graded harsh that I didn’t even catch and when I got them back gotbaseballcards gave you where exactly the dings and imperfections were and sure enough some were obvious that I should have caught. In the end I wound up paying some up-charges because 4 of the 24 cards gemmed. That said I went 50/50, I got 12 10’s and 12 9’s using them. Maybe there is something to the whole bulk submission and getting a grader having a bad day and so than your grading chances of 10’s take a hit.

    On the Messi Global 6, the centering top to bottom looks 90-10. That's something to factor in when there are cards with little to no borders. If you use the G in Global and the H in Reach, you can see how off-center it is. Then use the embossed dots, its even worse.

    Great stuff man, I hope you did well. I can tell you why the Lionel Messi Soccer card got the grade it did, when you shined it in the light you can see an indent at the bottom near his name and I'm assuming most of those with a low grade had similar issues, plus the corners had many showing white, not to pile on just giving my assesment. I appreciate you sharing the video and there was some good stuff there!

    Sorry to got some low numbers there. But i can see some of those cards are of center of have surface blemishes such as scratches and dents. Maybe you need to get a grading tool to check for centering. And if there are scratches on the surface you can use a wax to remove them. If there are any scratches on the surface, you'll get a 9 for sure. Paper cards are hard to get a 10 on though. You gotta have razor sharp corners with no white at all. I count the dots or design whether it be a checkerboard or Disco circles, you gotta check side to side and make sure they're the same. If there are 3.5 dots from the edge of the card on one side, go to the other side and make sure there are 3.5 dots from that edge as well. My first submission ever of 13 cards got nothing less than a 9. Sweet cards!!!

    That was brutal and hard to watch. Def caught the grader on a bad day. Hopefully youll have more luck in the future. I just got my psa submission back yesterday, was only about 13 cards but was overall happy with grade. 1 Card got a 8, with a bad corner but I swear it was fine when I sent it, so im a little bit suspicious as to what happened. I def would have not sent the card in with that kind of corner. But the rest of the cards I was pretty happy with. Downtowns getting a 9 instead of a 10 always sucks lol.

    Most of the time it's going to be the surface flaws in the background that give you a lower grade if they catch them. I noticed a scratch in the upper rt. of the Bowman Jordan Blaze graded 7. There were a few others that I did see some small blemishes. There doesn't seem to be any consistency with PSA's grading these days. I thought they were using a more advanced process to be more consistent.

    Same thing happened to me 4 months ago I sent in a large order I split it into two separate orders, almost all 10's some 9's on the first order, the second order came back almost all 8's no consistency with PSA. SGC is the most consistent and fair with grading. But everyone wants a psa slab and turns a blind eye to their inconsistent grading. PSA knows people will crack open cards and resubmit and not even think twice it's a total Cash cow for PSA. They also like to reserve majority of their 10's for their good customers.

On corners issues I had cards grade 7 or 8 because of bad corners that were not bad when I sent then to PSA. It is like they dropped the cards and threw them in the case after they got it. The do mess up at time.

    I appreciate you sharing the results live like that. I honestly do feel it was worth it you got a great deal at $15 per card. 6s & 7s really hurt bad I know !!! But at least you did get a considerable amount of 9s & 10s. Overall a success in my eyes to a certain extent. . especially since you sent so many at the same time. Now I’m just speculating I could be wrong on this. . But seems to me that they really kinda, maybe screwed you by trying to give you and equal amount 8s & 7s just so they can maybe keep the 9 & 10 population down on a particular card ? 🤷🏾‍♂️ I’m just saying ?
