Guess that grade? Jeters and ARod
Hi all,
anyone wanna take a stab at pre-grading these for me? Or give me some tips on what to look for on the foil cards with no borders? I'm sending Bobby some cards for his bulk sub and am trying to determine value for the two 93SP's and if it's even worth it for the ARod and Pinnacle. I never submitted before, and really never tried to pre-grade any of my cards. I read the PSA website for their criteria, but can't really see how that translates to the shiny cards other than "are the corners sharp?" Zooming way in on my scans, it looks like the corners may be far from perfect, but I'm not really sure. If anyone cares to offer an opinion, I'd appreciate it! Tony Here is a link to a google folder with the original scans. Hopefully the 93sp scans aren't too dark. https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...8Y?usp=sharing |

Have you looked under a loupe? Best way on these I think to assess how much white is on the corners, and edges.

one of the things I'm finding vague is: how much white (using that parameter as an example) knocks the grade down how many notches? |

It may help to shoot the photos against a dark background. It’s really hard to see a white corner against a white background with really small and really dark photos. It’s impossible to tell from what’s here. I would say that if you are detecting any defect at all that the SP Jeters are the only cards worth grading.

actually none of these corners look very good. so probably a waste of time to grade the pinnacle and ARod.

Those are really nice close ups of the corners. I'm thinking the Jeters are around 6s with that much white.

I think on the SP's 7 to 8, foil condition being better than photo's (no scuffs or indents) and backs are decently centered, same with Pinnacle and a 7 on Arod… Worth it even of they come back lower...

Grading fees/shipping, etc, certainly wouldn't be worth it, imo, after checking out the values on ebay for lower graded Jeters.

The Arod is like 3grand for a psa10. $200-$300 for psa 9, less than $100 for psa8. I definitely wont send those two in! |

I pulled this Jeter from a pack yrs ago and thought about sending it in as my 1st submission but looking at values, if it didn't come back a 10, it certainly wouldn't be worth it due to the exchange rate, shipping, etc, being up here in Canada. (I need to rescan this card, especially the front)

The 1993 Pinnacle Jeter. I’m looking at the back. I see a chip of white on the border below the mlbpa logo. I see white on the back corner near his glove in the photo. Not sure if that’s dust. It’s a nice card. May be a 9 and may be within parameters of a 10. It’s a risk. Also the corners are somewhat rounded but I think that’s normal for this issue. I usually send my cheap Jeter rookies in a bulk submission so it doesn’t cost so much per card. You may want to wait until someone on the board does a bulk submission so you can piggyback and not have to deal with all of the expenses for just one card.

Grade the 3 Jeters. Hold the Arod. The Jeter foil cards are worth throwing in a
holder in any grade and the Pinnacle is nicely centered. The Arod is not nice enough condition to justify the grading expense.

I'm glad to have it so that is enough for me at this point. I appreciate your thoughts, however. Thanks.

In case anyone is interested, my two SP's were deemed psa6 and psa7
didn't send my Pinnacle, but may throw it in on Bobby's next low dollar sub. |

It will be interesting to see what your Pinnacle comes back as if you decide to send it in?

I see these cards are getting some serious love, but it also looks like all Jeter cards are receiving huge amounts of affection. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1993-Pinnac...0AAOSwzCZdwKkT
