Interesting, wasn't aware of that rule. I knew the grade could only be .5 higher than the lowest.

Sorry for your loss, it's a very fun collection you've been left with. If you're still holding I'm interested in some of the Star Wars. I'll have to browse through and see which ones I need but I'll message you directly soon. Also worth noting now that the the word is Marvel/DC cards may be accepted very soon at CGC, so might want to keep an eye on their main page.

Isn't the 9.5 Mint+ by intention a subjective grade to designate a card that has a gem mint appearance to the naked eye? (this is my understanding, I don't know for sure). If that's the case, then I could see a definite weighting being used in regards to the subs. Edge grade would be nearly inconsequential between 8-10 grade, most people can't see it at all or the difference between small increments at high grade (especially in a slab). Centering would be weighted the highest, it's the easiest to spot a clear issue, even at 55/45 to spec for gem it can sometimes noticed on the right design. Corners would be the second highest again as an obvious or apparent defect if lower grade. Surface is hit or miss. If it's a 9 surface grade the mark or imperfection could be on the back, the issue could be with coloring, it could be dinged under a difficult to spot area (white, text, business on the design). If something like the above is correct, perhaps the key for 9.5+ is 9.5 or better on centering and corners and more lenience on the edge/surface. That would align with your overall 9, since corners have a possible perceivable imperfection.

I'm not a buyer, but that's a really cool set and a fair price. Good luck with the sale.

This thread is from last year before they had thick holders. That size is perfectly fine now.

Bowing or a slight curve to the card make no difference as long as there is no crease or damage to the card surface as a result. Put them in a sleeve and top loader for a little while and they'll begin to straighten out a bit.

Good luck with your bulk sub. I had a 54 card order go from received to shipped in 15 days, expected to be back tomorrow for a turnaround of 3 weeks. Capacity seems to be under control right now.

This is an awesome turnaround. Nice. Curious about what kinds of cards you submit on an order of that size as well, if you're interested in posting the results in another thread when they're back.

I don't believe PSA/SGC grade the sawcut card unless it's an auto only grade.

You'd have to post a picture for anyone to give you that advice. Don't get your hopes up. 1 of 726 is a pretty common numbering system for old junk cards that weren't truly printed in rare quantities.

When you build the submission it's just to put your card on file, you're not being charged. You are charged when your order shows as 'Scheduled for Grading' on the website.

Definitely, I was impressed. It was a split of vintage and modern, which might have helped. Since they have different graders for each, it may have progressed through each queue simultaneously.

When you submit your order, choose the declared value that you believe is the closest to the card value at the time of submitting. If they feel it is obviously too low, they will correct it and charge you accordingly when they enter the order.

The shipping you're paying for is return shipping for the cards from CSG back to you. You are responsible for getting the cards to their facility.
