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.

Yeah, I think I finally decided that while I like the look, feel and collectability of the graded cards, it's not worth the cost, at least to me in my present state of affairs. I'd much rather enjoy the cards, being able to handle them if I want to. I might not have as solid as an investment as graded cards, but at the end of the day had to decide if i wanted to collect for investment or fun...fun won out, thankfully!
