I Sent Some THICK Cards to PSA and THIS Happened... 

Obviously Topanga's a 10

Better start clearing a spot on the wall behind you for that play button

PSA grading the Oscar Colas Base Relic Auto: "Visible Dirt on Card. 7"

every time i look at your subscribers it is 2,000 more. and i learned about you all of two months ago. you must be doing something right!!

I sent cards out for the $15 deal and I guess there's a new PSA building in NJ and they're tough graders. I average 70% 10s and got 30% from them. Makes me never want to do a "grading special" again.

PSA will slightly damage your cards from time to time. They will also hose you ~25% of the time so that you have to resubmit...because they know many will. Its a horrible company and a 10 is completely arbitrary...

Had fun listening to you on the podcast the other night

We shouldn't have to 'guess' between a 9 or a 10. PSA should inform collectors and most importantly its customers on their grading. Otherwise I suspect their practice to be fraudulent. Reveal videos don't make sense--we deserve to know what we're getting already.

So cool how your channel has grown Stryker! The orange sapphire Bolte getting a 5 is crazy! You Rock Stryker!

Glad to see your channel getting some big traction! Been watching for a couple years and will be continuing to watch! 🎉🎉 100k in no time!

That music change for the Colas reveal was phenomenal.

The 5 got a big laugh from me

Not a bad return though that 5 with a fingerprint is wild. Stryker you are on a subscriber frenzy 100k will be here in no time at all!

Been here since 19K subscribers . Keep pumping out the content. This channel is very fun and informative

Can you look over your Henry Bolte card and confirm that’s the finger print was the only issue. I’m getting back a submission and tow of the cards that I thought were gems got 5’s. Like you gloves worn when cleaning items up. I was thinking to get 5’s the grader had to damaged them. I’ll be getting my submission tomorrow. Also you got me looking for Topanga lol

Those are all great cards! I think I'm in a different mindset when it comes to grading, but I understand why others don't usually do this. But when I have an autograph card, I want the auto graded as well or it just seems like an incomplete graded card. The fact I'm going on month FOUR and still in grading, I get it! I 100% get it plus I'm usually just grading cards for my own personal collection, so I want things done very meticulously. If you are just grading a card to sell ASAP, I know why others don't get the Auto graded. I just don't understand why PSA takes so much longer for Auto grade service when other companies, specifically SGC can grade the Auto same time length as other cards. I love seeing that 10/9.5 or 10/10 on my SGC auto cards. They won't list an Auto grade if not a 10 and that is perfectly fine as anything less than a 10 auto deducts from the card. I've been seeing more and more SGC autographed cards not getting a 10. I predominantly just collect Nolan Ryan cards and he always has a great auto, so usually no issues with my cards.

Not that bad of a return, a lot of people will say the grader is being tough, but I will think they are just maintaining a standard. Thanks for sharing!

I love these types of videos THANK YOU STRYKER

I love to see your appreciation for significant Topps Now cards. They can be very polarizing with many collectors poo pooing them. But we know the real deal!

Re: 13:20 'ish - Finger print on your *PSA 5* ! I _literally_ had the same...exact...thing, on my Wemby Prizm EMERGENT card that came back the other day. Like you/many others...I wear gloves & thoroughly wipe down my cards,...to the point where I check...re-check, and _re-re-check_ my cards before I sub 'em. There's absolutely *NO WAY* that I'd miss a _GLARING_ ..."flaw"...like that. WIth the turnaround times @ PSA dropping down _SIGNIFICANTLY_ over the past month or two, it's fairly-certain that they've taken on a batch (how many...??) of new graders. In doing so, I just hope that they aren't gonna' (sorta) compromise their grading standards/integrity....?!? Admittedly,...I've gotten a few cards over my last 2 orders (out of 56 cards, total) that are certainly worth questioning the grades on....?!? Hmmmmm......

From the junk wax era to the junk slab era. Still, I’m like you. I like my cards in slabs whenever possible. I’m a buyer though. I don’t think I have a sharp enough eye to not waste my money.

Keep it up Stryker you’ll get to that 100k in no time

The way thick cards get graded, I just honestly appreciate them more ungraded in a one-touch if I PC the player. Great cards all around though, and ready for these guys to hit the dirt for real in 3 weeks!

Topanga auto is a really big card. Just checked eBay sales and they look very strong on ones that are not as rare as your /5. Very cool.

Congratulations on your own card.How may we address you.guess I will collect yours and jabs cards and hold them for ransom.awesome sir

That Corbin Carroll stars & stripes card is BEAUTIFUL!!

Wow. Allot of nice stuff there. As a Whitesox fan the Lubob was my favorite, and even the Colas first base was sweet. Will look for it in the store. Thanks for sharing Note: I have the cosmic Grissom auto as well. In person. Another favorite

Ive had some bad luck with topps now cards, including getting some back as miscut / minsize etc.. I have been really confused by my latest returns as well. You would think I would get better over time but my gem rate is down. They probably dropped the colas down to a 7 because of all the dirt on the base 🤣 Nice return.

sweet sub! I love the bowman sapphire stuff, schultz signed a card for me the year he was drafted. cool guy

I love that Grissom gold cosmic chrome auto I have a Trey Mancini one and they both look beautiful

On the 5 check it for a back wrinkle those are tough to spot

Juicy Topanga bro!!

those inception grades have me worried about my inception cards coming back this week

Dude you were hot to see that 7 your sweaty fingerprints on the back priceless.... how we all feel when we get less than a 10.

Sending in the thicc bois

I had such a thing for Topanga back in the day. Need that card 🤣

Corbin Carroll HFA is one of my favs Stryker!

I never understood the feasibility of grading a 1/1. Whatever it comes back as, it's always going to be a POP 1. Unless it's just to have a holder for it.

i have a quality control issue with PSA right now about a thick inception card 2018 Rafael Devers (RC) and it came back like it was in a penny sleeve and there was a wave going through it,same with a jeremy pana Capstone New Age it had a wave going through it,so they're looking into it..horrible how they made it through " Quality Control "

THAT FINGERPRINT SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN A BETTER GRADE. 😁😁😁

What do u think the J Rod sp Topps will fetch?

I love your vids!

Regardless of the grades, those are some 🔥 cards that are now slabbed up, Stryke Man! ⚾️ 🔥 👏🏽 those Gem 10's though! 🔥

Make The PSA 9 Great Again!! Too many live and die by the grade of the card instead of the card itself! Thanks for the show!!

Topps Now are very hard to get a 10 in. Congrats on the Topanga 10 getting a 10!

Rainbow foils a tuff as hell to gem , I just got a corbin rookie debut back at a 8

This is so cool JULIOOO JUULIOOOO LETS GOOOOO SO MANY 10S

When did you send these in ? And how long was the whole process ?

Shultz was the 26th pick in 22. Had a nice season last year too. Some real nice cards in this

Do you order the topps now auto cards or are those luck of the draw when you order the base cards

Sweet cards sir

You selling any of those Corbins 👀

sweet 10s!!!! my favorite was the Morel and Topanga, she is a 10

The simple fact that you have to ask "why?" when there are other companies that will actually tell you why, is everything wrong with the grading experience.

Dumb question. I noticed you only did card grade and not auto. I’m new to submitting to PSA and I submitted all with auto and card grade. Was that dumb? Seeing if auto was packed pulled and authentication is this on the card it’s not worth grading the auto? I feel like I spent extra money when I should have just got the auto cards graded. Thoughts? Thanks.

Unfortunately, PSA, in the last 7 or so months, has been damaging people's cards by probably dropping them on the floor. This has also been happening with high valued cards

Do you submit the thick cards in semi rigid holders as well. Always curious if PSA allows thicker cards to be in top loaders. Appreciate the content!

Crack the Bolte

Hey Stryker, I looked around to see if you sold this card at 15:14 the Logan O'hoppe red rookie on card auto. looking to buy one I know i should probably e-mail you but i cannot find anywhere to get ahold of you. thanks.

Not too bad at all thanks for sharing 🍀🍻🤘🎰

Willing to make a trade for that Topanga /5 auto ?

I got a 6 with a fingerprint that I didn’t do cracked it sent it back got 10

Your grader was obviously eating lunch and dropping cards! 😢😮

13:43 fingerprint does not equal a 5

Pepe memes are a 10

I’ve had PSA damage a few cards I sent in. I think it’s bs they don’t refund your $.

Nice

My Carroll USA got a 7 ... did you grade the card or just the auto?... his auto is done with ball point pen and indented the card

grissom card looks soooo gem

How much can I buy that Oscar Colas off you for. I’m a Sox fan and that would be sick for my PC

They damage your cards to justify the shitty grades they give on key cards

So now touching our cards and a fingerprint makes a 10 a 5?!? Man

I'm new to card grading is it really worth it to send cards off to get graded does it increase the value of the card

How did your subscriber count go up suddenly so quick when it was going up very slowly for much of last year. 🤔

PSA is a load of nonsense and depending on the random 3mo experience grader you get it’s a shot in the dark . BGS and CGC are superior imo

That's just one reason why I don't like PSA. They damage your card and then grade you down for their mistakes. You don't see this with SGC. Too bad SGC is just a sister company of PSA now 😞
