I personally DID buy a ton of them. The problem though, is that I opened them all

I'm just not sure how lenient is PSA with sets like this where everything in the set seems to have quality issues...

I had several graded. A Jackson Chourio earth got a 9, Jackson Chourio base auto go a 9, Lawrence butler pink 1/1 starfractor got a 7 (I totally didn’t pay attention to the back and learned my lesson, large indent on the back), and a Jackson Chourio gold auto got a 10. I had some other large cards I didn’t send in bc of print lines, ie Mike trout base auto, Yamamoto Starfractor /10 and Evan Carter black auto /10. Id say you’ll be hard pressed to get many 10s out of this year with print lines and other surface issues. Centering was good for the most part but surface issues are eeek…

To add another answer to the grading question, I just got back an order that had 5 Cosmic Chrome as part of it. Went 5/5 Gems with these 4 and also an Evan Carter Solar Flares Auto



I should have a 2nd batch popping in the next 2-3 weeks.

Wow - awesome results! Please share pics when you get 'em back in hand! Thanks for sharing.

I've subbed 12 cards from this set with 8 of them coming back GEM.

4 PSA 10, 2 PSA 9 on Planetary Pursuits though didn't send another 3 because they were 9 at best.

0 PSA 10, 2 PSA 9 on a pair of Black Eclipse Autos that looked perfect

Other 4 10's were 1 Gold Insert (Sho) and 3 other autos. Have a ton of good stuff that I didn't feel would have a 50/50 shot at GEM'ing. Tough set, condition wise.

I subbed 7 cards as part of a recent order - I couldn't land a Nucleus in a 10 even though I only sent what I thought were the best of the best of my Nucleus cards. I probably should have sent my Skenes too and just hoped for a 9... At least the important cards to me gemmed.

PSA 10

PSA 9
