Posted By: <b>Jason</b><p>Ah but Jim if an 8 is (8.00 and 8.99) Then your Jordan bump was a mistake (if it went from an 8 to a 9)<br><br>If PSA can make mistakes and under grade cards then they can over grade cards (and they do)<br><br>Like I said, I'm sure your cards were "strong" 8's anyway.

Posted By: <b>JimCrandell</b><p>Good point Jason--nice to know that for the occasional mistake that it can break in my favor--I'd like to believe they are(strong 8s) but when you have so many of them by definition they gravitate toward the average.<br><br>Jim<br><br>

Posted By: <b>marshall barkman</b><p>Jim are you looking at the cards and trying to see if they deserve the bump or just sending them in? If you are just sending the cards in without really checking them out i would say your bump percentage is great right now.

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Jim- good one, but I have an even better idea:<br><br>Only tax the half point bump from the rich collectors, and then take that money and give it to the poor and lazy collector. Now that's a good system! <img src="/images/happy.gif" height="14" width="14" alt="happy.gif">

Posted By: <b>Jeff Lichtman</b><p>Jim, do you know how many stimulus checks you could send out just from that Jordan RC bump? I'm not sure how much stimulus would actually occur from those checks but I bet you'd at least stimulate some activity to and from mailboxes.

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>But Jeff- it's a pretty long walk from my house to the mailbox. Couldn't I get an unemployed banker to go get it and hand deliver it to my front door?

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>Not if the banker is in jail...which is where many probably should be, or maybe we can reserve those spaces for the CEO's.

Posted By: <b>Jeff Lichtman</b><p>Barry, just pace yourself. Wake up...eat some Cocoa Puffs...turn on the TV. Maybe make some coffee. Take a few steps outside -- not too fast. Then maybe read the paper a bit longer. Take a few more steps. Eventually you'll get there. And when you do...won't it be worth it?

Posted By: <b>Jeff Lichtman</b><p>But Barry, with your check you'll be able to upgrade to the good stuff. And I'd be happy to help you out there. There's no good reason why a fine American like you shouldn't have the good stuff for breakfast.

Posted By: <b>Jeff Lichtman</b><p>Barry, Jim only received a handful of upgrades, let's not get crazy. I'll be sending a bunch in soon, however, and I'll keep you in the loop on the results. Let's keep our fingers crossed -- we're in this together.

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>As you know I am a Republican and proud of it. I am a bit more moderate than you though. My disgust with many of the CEO's in the country has to do with their rewards for a job done so poorly. For any company NOT getting bailed out with my money, and doing well by their stockholders and employees, I don't care if they make a billion dollars a year. Good for them. I am against welfare and think it should be workfare....Kind of like EVERYONE should pay something in taxes....but this can digress quickly to a political thread (has already) and do we really need another of those? best regards

Posted By: <b>Jim Crandell</b><p>I agree on political thread--I just hate to see comments like many bankers should be in jail or that somehow those spots should be reserved for ceos go unchallenged. These are productive people who have done great things to help our country unlike the leftist politicians who run our country that do everything possible to do the opposite.

Posted By: <b>marshall barkman</b><p>Leon i must say your stock is rising in regards to the BRING THE NOISE category. This whole bailout is the worst economic decision of our generation. It goes against the free enterprise system and if you talk to any hard working poor to middle class person they are not for the current bailout! I personally cannot do anything about it so all i can do is head to the 2-year old in training sale at Ocala and grab a Unbridled Song offspring for about 1/2 of what i would have paid a year ago.

Posted By: <b>marshall barkman</b><p>Jim i agree with you. I am sick and tired of hearing the words jail,lawsuit and so on. Everyone who has any common sense realizes that Barney Frank had alot to do with the current situation and his name is hardly ever brought up. You cannot sell a 350,000 house to someone making 8 dollars a hour.

Posted By: <b>NickM</b><p>I've done it. <br>I sent 5 cards in that I was confident had been overgraded and explained with the submission that I was sending them back for review because they were overgraded. PSA agreed with me on all 5, sent them back to me properly graded, and sent me a grading voucher for the value difference.<br>FWIW, 4 of the cards had back issues that had been missed (1 wrinkle, 1 pencil mark, and 2 miscuts), while the other didn't meet centering standards for the original grade.<br>
