First PSA grading submission

[mlbexpert]

Sent it off this morning. Signed up for the Platinum Collectors Club and off went 15 cards. Special thanks to Jewcer and everyone else on this forum that has taken the time to share their thoughts on Grading 101 and best practices.

Here's what I sent:

(2) 2016 Topps Now Champions WS-5A Kris Bryant Autograph
(1) 2016 Topps Archives Snapshots Trea Turner Black and White Autograph /10
(1) 2016 Topps Archives Snapshots Kyle Schwarber Black and White Autograph /10
(1) 2012 Topps 661 Bryce Harper Autograph
(1) 2016 Topps Archives 65th Anniversary Update Rookie Base Variation KS Kyle Schwarber Autograph
(1) 2015 Stadium Club Autograph Kris Bryant
(1) 2017 Topps Opening Day Alex Bregman - Opening Day 1/1 Edition (1/1)
(1) 2011 Topps Pro Debut 263 Mike Trout Gold (/50)
(1) 2011 Topps Update US175 Mike Trout
(1) 2017 Topps 283 Andrew Benintendi Batting - Memorial Day Camo (/25)
(1) 2017 Topps Silver Pack Promo Autograph 87AAB Andrew Benintendi

(1) 2015 Topps Chrome 112 Kris Bryant
(1) 2015 Topps 616 Kris Bryant Close-Up

Many of these were pulled by me, but all were acquired raw. I think the most questionable to send for grading was the Camo Benintendi...I own two and haven't seen one better...but we shall find out.

Fingers crossed for 9s and 10s (mostly 10s please)! Will update once it pops.

Grades just popped! Mostly great. A little surprised by a few of these, especially the 9 stadium club Bryant auto and 9 bregman 1/1, and the 8.5 harper and trout (ugh - was hoping for 9s at least).

Lots of amazing Benny's in here though, including the red /5 1987 foil card, and the camo memorial day parallel that both popped gem mint 10.

The 2011 Trout, and the 2015 chrome and base Kris Bryant were all pulled by me, so nice to see those get 10s.

The two 10's for the Topps Now Kris Bryant autos from the world series sets are huge!

First the great:

I think I'll part with some of my Benintendi's, though I may wait to get them in person before I decide.

If one in particular has your eye, send me a PM.
