What stood out to me was the amount of junk-era crap that isn't even worth grading unless you are guaranteed a 10. And even at a 10, they are only worth a few bucks more than the cost of grading. I can understand graded cards selling for $10 when they obviously just came in lower than the owner had hoped. But a psa 10 for $10.00 seems like a $3 profit in a best case scenerio.

One of my best friends in the hobby would walk the floor of every show he went to (and he went to alot) looking at 52 Bowman's and specifically at Musial's. He must have shown me a hundred top examples of the card and I never saw one that looked like the one that sold. I would give that card a 10 all day long it is heads and shoulders above any other 52 Musial. Congrats to new owner.

I have read that 4SharpCorners has a sweetheart deal with PSA where they have thousands of cards reviewed monthly and only slabbed if they meet a certain grade threshhold. Say something on the order of $2 per card review and $4-5 for the ones that deserve to be slabbed. The ones that don't make the grade probably get sold raw by New England or tried again. At that price, it's a whole lot easier to make a profit.

I've always been tempted to buy say 100 PSA 10s from them, crack them out and resubmit, and see how many 10s I get. I am guessing no more than 10 and probably closer to 5.

Not because their cards don't deserve 10s, but because 10s are an arbitrary grade IMO and I think there has to be some element of it makes a difference who is submitting.

The bar codes on the cardsavers going to the graders have no information on who submitted them. I am not a #conspiracytheory guy.

If they have a stack of 1000 high grade cards from the 70s and up, they know damn well it's one of a small handful of major submitters, no?

Do my experiment, I dare you.
