Its not free to resubmit the card...i just think by now they have already attempted it...we are many YEARs later since the half grades bumps have been added....how many more years have to pass until everyone agrees that this card has already been reviewed and turned down once if not more times..

then again, this can be just another ridiculous post by me..

Conspiracy theorists may say grading companies like to encourage multiple resubmissions to make more money and therefore have to bump a card once in a while. I have no idea if this is true but it wouldn't surprise me in the least.

Lot of merit in what you said. LOL! Plus, you are comparing apples to orangutans citing SGC/BVG/Gai as valid TPG vs earlier PSA flips of 20+ years ago. Maybe the seller tried and it failed . . . of maybe he didn't try? While I wouldn't have honked up $3100 for the K-line in 7, if I had, it would be on the road to Newport for a poss. bumpo soon as it came knocking.

Grading is subjective. Even if a card has been submitted multiple times before and did not bump, it may well bump on the next submission depending on who looks at it, what they think on that particular day, perhaps who is submitting it, what else was in the submission, etc. This is an art not a science, and a sloppy art at that.

The card could have been shilled too, funny that never entered into the equation....only 2 bidders over 1400 to make it a 3500 card.....

understand buy the card not the holder but people sell the holder not the card...i have a few centered 7 kalines ..i just think i dont get more than 1500 in a pwcc auction...but maybe the market has changed....

Although it has been many years since half grades were introduced, I can assure you there are many collectors with cards in their collection that have not submitted for review for bumps. Me for one. I was heavy into collecting 10 years ago and now getting back in. I have never submitted for review. I am sure there are many like me who just bought the cards and put them in a vault. Sending back in carries transit risk even if small and many casual collectors don't go to the big shows

david,

what's up! bought your 79 gretzky opc

any luck on a scanner?

[sushihotwings]

Hey Bob. I have been following your posts here and mostly lurking for the past couple months. I haven't seen many Gretzky 9s for sale since a bit of a rush two months ago with PWCC and me when you practically stole mine 😂 with your auction skills. PSA board has been pretty quiet. Still shopping for a high quality scanner. Good to hear from you. Dave

anyways, go w/ the epson. i'm telling ya. best scanner out there!

The PSA boards is horrible! I got banned over there, and I was the VICTIM of a malicious attack! I have been able to go back for quite some time now - I just choose not to. If that is the way they treat victims, I have no use for them.

PS - +1 on the Epson. I have one. For the money, it can't be beat.
