Jim B, your sample isn't a fair comparison -- you picked the ones you thought were the best of your 8s. Jim C sent his in en masse. There should be no question that you would have a higher yield. |

Ryan, even sadder is that I've actually laughed at that joke/spelling every time you write it -- I actually remembered the first time you noticed the misspelling. |

While not to take away from anyones awards or achievements on any of the registries, I think PSA would do better to honor some of those that have gotten the hobby to the point where they can grade 12 million cards and have 35,000 sets registered, or whatever they're at. |

I had the pleasure of meeting last years PSA HOFer Stephen Soloway. When I congratulated him on being inducted, he said he was the "poorest" of the registry guys - that many others had higher graded cards, but he was very proud of his complete sets. |

This is the first I've heard of a PSA Collectors Hall of Fame. Do they issue HOF postcards for each inductee? Is there an event where one can get them signed, and then slabbed by PSA/DNA? |

My understanding is that centering is the paramount consideration as by definition an 8 should already have quite strong corners. |

PSA says cards must exhibit centering that is at least 5-10% better than the minimum standard for a particular grade to be eligible for a half grade bump. I have heard they are also very picky about other time-of-manufacture defects such as printing imperfections, out-of-register image, etc. in awarding the bumps. Like Peter I would expect corner wear to be less of a factor -- can the graders really identify an "8.5 corner" on a spectrum of corner sharpness between an "8 corner" and a "9 corner"? I wouldn't think so; it is probably too narrow a range to make such distinctions. |

Eric, also taking into account the fact that an "8" corner is nearly flawless as it is. Therefore, how can an "8" corner be better than flawless? I would think centering and other variables would cause the grade to push to 9. That and having the words "JP Cohen" on your return address label on the submitted package. |

People tend to think that all resubmissions are from 8's. While I do not doubt a lot are, that is not always the case. |

i have owned many 8's that have touches on the corners (nowhere near "flawless")...i actually have to say that i think corners are paramount vs. centering when you get into 8's, 9's and even 10's...it's all about the corners. i have owned all of the above grades, and many of them have been off-center...but PSA seems to care most about corners, in my experience. |

have you (or anyone else you know) re-submitted the same card more than once to see if it bumps on the subsequent review? I'm pretty confident that, for better or worse, PSA's objective eye is somewhat biased towards achieving pre-determined results that any review submission not exceed X% of bumps... |
