Trading Card Therapy - Episode 64 - Welcome to PSA's Wide World of Grading! 

Thanks for the breakdown. Always fun to be learning more.

Great conversation, thanks for sharing

I'm laughing, too, at the notion of PSA reholdering millions of cards - for free. 🤣

If the Williams had have been dead centered it may have got the 4 grade or at minimum a 3.5. The combo of that corner and the centering held it back imo.

I cannot believe the news on the game worn cards! I would predict that there will be a boom with these cards because it’s the trendy thing for modern collectors to do. I’ll stick with vintage thank you very much.

Happy Saturday

PSA should have “ hot keys” for graders that allows them to quickly provide feedback/reason why the card was graded the way it was Lord knows they have the card for 2-3 months. They can add a few keystrokes.

That’s a solid Mantle. Thought a 7 as well. The Off centering maybe?

I didn't think graders knew how much was paid for grading.

Grades are pretty accurate. OC hurts them. They are pretty common so grades compared to other examples to me I rather have center copies

MY LAST PSA SUB INC. VINTAGE WAS PRETTY BRUTAL = MOSTLY 2-3'S ON WHAT I THOUGHT WERE 4-5'S. +OH, AND IT TOOK 4VR 2GET BACK: - (

I’m not sure I want a sweatshop card. No thank you. Or is it a skidmark card? Lol

I THINK THE TED WAS EASILY A PSA11, BUT THEN, WHEN IT COMES TO TED WILLIAMS CARDS, I BECOME A BIT IRRATIONAL.
