That was pretty funny, although I suspect the humor was entirely inadvertent. Did any of the cards have printing at the bottom, or, perhaps the better question is, were they supposed to? I hear PSA sometimes doesn't do quite as well with them. In any event, congrats on having passed PSA's "strict standards upon close examination." I'm sure you must be proud. |

I'm curious if Jim's experience on the bumps is above the average of the typical PSA customer who submits blindly. I'll bet just about anything that his average is higher. |

At least until Spence sends his collection to PSA to once again go under that close examination and strict standard for a second time at a reduced rate. |

Peter, a) you don't know what the bump average is on prewar cards; and b) it is clear that Jim did get special treatment on his submission costs. |

How do you know what I know? In fact, the unstated premise of my post was that I have spoken to several guys who submitted a fair number of cards for reviews and Jim's results are consistent with theirs. |

LOL, I think "blindly" is the key word in your post. After having seen the good work done by PSA in the Kelly post, its difficult for me to get too excited about PSA's "close examination." I wonder if the blind grader still works for them, and, if so, what sort of ADA accomodation was made for him/her. |

Two dealers and one collector. All seemed to be at about the ten percent level. If that is in fact what is happening on a broader scale, I suppose there are two possiblities. One, they are applying their standards consistently and only about 10 percent of 8s meet the more exacting requirements for 8.5. Two, they have a predetermined percentage they want to bump and it is somewhat arbitrary. |

Of course Peter Spaeth is correct here(naturally). His percentages are right on the money. To suggest I get preferential treatment on grades is ludicrous. |

Peter, fair observation. It's hard to imagine that PSA graders are awake enough that of all cards submitted for a bump just 10% make the grade via fair reviews. Much more likely that Orlando -- he of the $9 stock price, half of what it was three years ago -- has determined that 10% is the number, period. |

Jim, I bet you would be surprised how little everyone here cares about your submission results. How many times do you have to tell us that you are getting a "special rate" on submissions, does it make you feel special? Honestly, do you see any other threads on this forum similar to this one? You aren't the only collector sending cards in for submission. |

I'm saying look at the Kelly post, which is pretty distressing. Then tell me why and how excited I should be about PSA's grading abilities. |

Jim not sure there are enough basketball sets (not counting the real modern stuff) that it would make sense to include Rakosi in the company of the other guys whose collections are so extensive; that said it is phenomenal what he has. |

A small sample, but just for comparison's sake, I submitted about 15 of my E93s (cherry picked the ones I thought had the best shot) and about 15 other cards from throughout my collection. I got four total bumps - two E93s, two others - out of thirty cards submitted. I am by no means a big customer for PSA and it looks as though I got a higher percentage bumped (13.3%) than Crandall. I must say that I am still baffled that some of the others did not get bumps. These are a couple that I thought were sure things. |
