Cracking out cards and resubmitting in 2022
I saw an interesting video on social media of a collector who had 10 vintage cards that were graded. He believed all were undergraded, cracked them out, and sent them back to the original grading company to grade again.
5 cards came back the same grade, 3 came back .5 lower, and 2 came back 1 grade lower. None came back at a higher grade. Obviously, the collector wasn't thrilled. He was happy none came back trimmed.
A few thoughts on this:
1. Is this worth the gamble anymore with turnaround times and prices being higher? I could see when it was $10 a card but not so much now.
2. Are grading companies using AI now to weed out resubmits? Or is that a future ambition?
