My first submission to PSA was also an "enlightening" one. I submitted six cards. I was off on every single one. I sent in a 1963 Topps Mays that was a 4 at best, and it came back a 6. I sent in a 1972 Topps Joe Namath In Action that I thought had a legitimate shot for a 9, and it came back a 5. And so on and so on. I got better at discriminating, but eventually I kinda gave up. I realized that graded cards from the 60's and 70's that were 4's and 5's were pretty much worthless, but looked great in plastic sheets as parts of sets. And that's where they will continue to reside. Good luck with your future submissions.
