Good question 👍 I figure them out by using EBay completed listings, card ladder, and my overall years of experience understanding what certain low pop cards sell for 👌 I just sold that Russell Wilson for $500. Now I’m wondering if I undervalued that one 🤪
About the Ja green: I saw something just right of his hand and the ball on the green. Looks like some sort of dimple or crescent moon shape. I could be wrong. It might just be a fingerprint. Great vid!!
Just checked :) It was just fingerprint 👍 Nice catch though! I’ll wipe it off 👌 Now I’m intrigued to see what other grading companies would give the card. Thanks!
If i wouldve sent thise exact cards, i would've gotton 2 10's 5 9's 2 8's and 1 6. I send in big orders 45-100 cards and i always get just 1 6 on every sub. There is a new grader at psa who is so tight that he sqeeks when he walk.
First a quick glance to see if card is even gradable. If it’s, I sort into a high priority grading pile and a low priority grading pile based upon completed listings research 👍 Then I scrutinize each high priority card on three different occasions under nice light (I actually still just use my naked eye, but a jeweler loupe is never a bad idea). If it passes the test each time, then I put in new penny sleeve then new semi-rigid holder. Finally I make sure the lowest possible grade the card would receive still sells for more than the grading cost 👍 I should have some pre-sub stuff in my past vids too. Thanks for watching!
In one of my orders I had 3 cards that came back with that same mark as your ja morant card and all got 8s I was wondering the same thing about how the case must have done that cause they were all in the same spot
Yeah, I’ve seen that mark many times over the years :( Both PSA and SGC slabs can make them if card is able to move around a bit in slab. I think a PSA 8 would be the correct grade on that card. Now I’m just intrigued to see what SGC would give it 😂
My value bulk order arrived just a few days after this one, it has been sitting with a green assembly check for 2 weeks 😢. In your experience, am I likely waiting on an upcharge email? Thanks!
Yeah, if grades don’t pop by tomorrow then I’m guessing probably an upcharge. When you check your order status for it on website, does it show a check mark ✅ for assembly or a time (hour hand) for assembly? If it had a check mark that means grades will pop the next day most likely 👌
Thanks for the info. The app shows the time clock, but the website has shown a green check mark. I wish they would pop tomorrow, but not seeming likely😢 since it has been stuck like this since December 13 (double checked the date it said assembly)
That's good news. Both my last two orders grades popped two days after they showed the check mark on assembly website (app still had time clock) Hope you get awesome grades!@@campbe00
Carmen Electra card quite off-centered on the back. It didn't use to matter much with PSA, but they have changed their ways...bad back centering will cost you a grade or 2 these days -- also, toward the bottom of the card, l/r centering is off on the front...more on right than left...definitely a 9 card
I agree with ya on the Electra, and the fact that PSA is grading back centering tougher. Which I get…eye appeal of the back centering isn’t great 😬 I was just hoping the grader was a really big Electra fan and was hypnotized into a gem 10 😂
I appreciate you saying that 🙌 I’m glad you like my commentary. Probably boring to some, but each card has meaning and background so I like talking about them :)
@@littlevictoriessportscards197 thanks for the quick reply, I really enjoy your content. You've done awesome with your grading subs. I just sent 2 large psa subs 138 cards and 170 cards, might have been better doing 4 smaller ones like you did to lower risk of a tough grader
I hope you don't get a tough grader...yeah, next time breaking it up into 50 card orders :) Let me know how you do when the grades pop, good luck! Thanks for enjoying my content @@nolanpaul52
@@littlevictoriessportscards197 do you get better grades with smaller orders or is it purely to lower risk of having a tough grader on a huge amount of cards? Also I have a lot of the same cards I grade so I didn't want 15 of the same card in 1 order- did 12 on my 2nd sub though trying to get them out before the deal expired.. do you ship them down In separate boxes at different times?
I had a card come back from PSA once with an indentation like that. The dent on mine was about two inches long, and it was obvoius that it happened at PSA when they sealed up the holder. The card got off-center during the sealing process, and got crimped by the ridge in the holder. It got a PSA 3. lol It was an inexpensive card in like a 200 card order, so I didn't bother to contact customer service. Also, on that Morant card... from looking at the RC logo, it appears that the debossing off a bit. That could have contributed to it getting a lower grade as well.
I’m glad that didn’t happen on one of your expensive cards 👌 Lots of people are mentioning that RC logo alignment off, but check out the PSA 10’s on eBay of that card…they all look like mine, weird. Who knows. Either way, my fault for sending it in 👍 Happy holidays!
A few years ago I was shipping with USPS for my sealed wax. In 1 week I had 7 orders “LOST” and I had to refund over $2500 and out of the product. Turns out they had employees stealing the card shipments. They didn’t refund me anything on it.
😬 really sorry to hear that! We put so much trust into these mail carriers, scary to think how easy it would be for them to steal. I’m still holding out hope they arrive 🤞
The Giddy story will blow over in time. People forget how young these players are when they arrive in the league. Sounds like he was a teenager himself when the incident occurred and he was at club and hooked up with someone he thought was a similar age to him.
That is really risky 😬 I had this feeling someone saw SGC and stole the package, but I’m still holding out hope 🤞 It’s in missing mail request right now
@@littlevictoriessportscards197 I would deactivate the certification numbers until it shows up if sgc has a way to do that I’ve done it with psa cards before.
I made a psa submission but never found the shipping label to put on box, can i manually put the address to psa on the box what is the address I need to write on there if so?
They don’t provide a shipping label. But do print out the submission form you completed and include with your order 👍 You can manually just ship to PSA. Their address is: CU Receiving PO Box 6180 Newport Beach, CA 92658 Good luck! Happy collecting 👌
I agree on the not using usps! Yesterday my mailman signed for my 50 card SGC submission himself and jut left it on my porch. Didn’t even spell my name right. Will use Fed Ex from now on it’s cheaper as well!
Wow, I can’t believe your mailman did that 🤯 You’re so lucky a porch pirate didn’t snag it 👍 Yeah, FedEx the way to go during the holidays. Thanks for watching!
Oh wow, you’re right about the Giddey slab but it’s just on the back and not too big of a deal I think 👌 I probably won’t send back to reslab. I checked the Ja Gem and it looked ok. Nice eye as usual! I think PSA packs them too tightly 😬
My advice is to buy in bulk from the big consigners on eBay. For example I try and win 50 cards at a time from dcsports87 auctions, and usually just about half of them are gradable 👌 Then I just send the non-gradable ones to COMC. But the best way to find clean raw cards is going to card shows 👍
Praying on that SGC package! I like that Ray Lewis red refractor. I recently sold a Randy Moss PSA 10 from that same parallel set :) Nice overall order with some sweet hits. Great time for that Purdy!
I appreciate that! It just alerted me that a missing mail request has been initiated 😬 🤞 How much did your randy moss sell for? It was hard to price that Ray Lewis. Thanks for always watching!
I had the Moss priced at $250 for a while. Had a non-paying buyer at $200. Ultimately sold it for $115. In hindsight I maybe should have held out for more like $150, but was ok with $115.@@littlevictoriessportscards197
Good order! Sorry to hear that the sgc order is still lost. Sure hope it turns up. Usps can definitely lose a package for a couple weeks and all of a sudden it moves lol so I hope that’s the case! Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Ja was super off centered, you can tell by looking at the RC badge. You can tell on prizm by looking at the top right RC badge. See how the RC print isn’t in the actual lines. Not sure if that makes sense, but respond back and let me know if you see it!
It’s interesting that everyone sees centering different 👍 Looks perfect to me, but I’ve been known to be wrong 🤪 Who knows. Thanks for watching and commenting!
