Grats.

OP, this is the only post in the thread that matters

[90skid]

This thread has been a blast to read. Let's see if I can summarize:

- OP Spent $1,450 for a craigslist card lot and pulled these gems from the lot.
- Asked for forum members advice on grading
- Provides potato quality photos of cards still inside penny sleeve and top loaders...
- Has never showed the back of the cards (which yep they grade that too!)
- Expects the community to provide a true answer of what PSA will really grade them.
- Blasts all grading companies for their questionable ethics and business procedures.
- Still expects to make a profit regardless of what the community has provided back with opinions.

I think at this point we all just need to stop, wait, and have OP give us the results of what he submits and how it turns out. But we know that will never happen.

OP is never submitting these for grading.
OP is likely a PBM.
People need to stop giving OP serious responses as they will just be wasting their time and energy.

This thread has been a true delight to read!

Wildly underrated comment that did not get the attention it deserved at the time.

I love how this is always the immediate reply from PBM’s when confronted. Like, yeah, this will throw us off the scent.

Is Wiper the cohort?

Grades pop yet?

Been on this forum for 15 years

Never get tired of these gems …

[nj1980]

There are people here who seem to be insinuating that I am not balls deep inside the individual who sold me this lot.

I do not believe this is the case.

I think one of the Rices can come back as a 9 and if thats the case that will net me a substantial profit on just one card.

But hey, it's the Bay Area, so who am I to judge?

[DrZman]

Well that certainly took a turn.

yes I'm sure you think that it CAN but you are also extremely hopeful as all of us are when we send in cards to be graded that it comes back with the best possible scenario. We might look at the card through a magnifying lens and still miss or overlook a minor hairline flaw that the graders would assess towards the overall grade.

I just don't see the confidence especially when you yourself has stated deciding on as you put it which 'joke of a trading company' to send them to. You've thrown out some examples of cards graded where you disagree with the condition of the card and that's fine but the exceptions do not disprove the perception that PSA and other companies are overall extremely accurate and thorough with their grades.

Realistically and perhaps more than likely the top Rice could be an 8, there also could be a good chance, especially since the graders would comb over the card more thoroughly that we can with a scan and grade less than an 8

[nj1980]

Ive seen many cards online that looked far far worse online with just the naked eye graded 9 and even shockingly 10.


It is peculiar that this is something the experienced individuals on this site are having an extremely difficult time grasping.

Somehow, already in about 24 hours, this horse is already beaten to death.

Nobody is saying the grading co's are perfect. Nobody is saying they couldn't pick out some 9's out there that should be 8s, and some 10's that could be 9's or even 8's. Could your rice grade a 9? Sure, anything is possible!

You do realize these companies grade MILLIONS of cards a year, literally. If there are dozens of eye sores out there easily found, that somehow squeaked through with poor grades, they're doing great.

[nj1980]

This is precisely why Im saying it could come back as anything. People automatically assume the worst. They could make errors in our favor too. Ive shown multiple examples.

I understand the people here are a bunch of haters with bad luck apparently who are automatically spewing negativity and assuming the worst and Im saying not so fast.

Lets be honest for a second. People suck. And they dont want to sit there and watch me net a 60k profit it would just make them envious.

[nj1980]

People want others to fail. Were you born yesterday?

Not sure what all the fussing and fretting is about. Send your cards in! We’re all rooting for you… well, maybe not you specifically, but we’re rooting for your cards. Rice and Montana are some of the greatest players in NFL history (and Rice himself may be the greatest of them all). We want to see those 9’s and 10’s when you get them! Clearly we’re skeptical that those cards will get those grades, but that’s irrelevant. We’re not grading/slabbing them. Instead of wasting time talking to us, get those babies in the mail to PSA ASAP.

[nj1980]

I couldnt care less if people here are rooting for me or not. Reading this thread has been comedy to me. Supposedly experienced individuals making themselves look dumb because they would rather just spew negativity, while at the same time claiming to be knowledgable.

Humanity at its finest. Trolling is really easy isnt it folks.

You tell them OP.

I still believe in Josh Rosen and I believe in your Rice 10s too.

Our opinions are irrelevant. Use PSA Super Express for those cards and you’ll have them back within a few weeks, if not sooner. I used Super Express recently and was shocked how fast I got my card back.

[zworykin]

When you believe everyone in the world is arrayed against you... perhaps you're the problem. Food for thought.

[nj1980]

And then there is logic and solid reasoning which I have had to repeat several times.

Its like talking to a brick wall. But hey these are experts here right.

I've read this entire thread and people here have given their honest assessments to you both on what your cards will MORE THAN LIKELY be graded at their peak as well as what PSA and others would be looking for. Yet it seems like you are unwilling to take advice and opinions at face value and would rather insult those looking to help you out realistically on whether to grade or not grade by calling members haters, born losers or saying their collection 'sucks' or they are just spreading negativity

Gee, I wonder why anyone would dare not take you seriously.

Good luck with whatever you choose to do.
