All told, I'm slightly underwhelmed by the raw cards I purchased a few weeks ago. Maybe I'm just being pessimistic, or maybe I've been looking at modern cards too much lately, but I've reset my expectations to get back lots of 5s and a few 6s, and maybe one or two 7s. Will I be heartbroken if that is the case? Nah. But I may have to re-calibrate my expectations and plan moving forward and instead just look to buy cards already graded. Of course that might change when I actually get these cards back from PSA.
My plan is to not look at the grading summary online and be surprised when they come back. I will be sure to post a full report when they return in like 8 months.
In the meantime, I will be looking for PSA 5s or better of the cards I don't own. The quest continues

I know the feeling. I spent the better part of 2017-2018 grading my raw 56 star cards and flipping them for high eye appeal graded. I couldn’t deal with the imperfections of my raw. Don’t get me wrong, I still have a strong dislike for PSA but I have come to a livable balance if I stick to more recent cert #s and try to stay patient.
I love these updates, keep em coming!
