If keeping it just be happy it is protected for now. If selling into this crazy market I would 100% crack out and Please Submit Again and see what happens.

This should pop today. Anyone want to guess on how hard they're going to hammer Hank?

I was think due to the back top right corner, it can't do better than a 3.5 but now I'm just hoping for a 2!

I am going with a 3 on the Aaron rookie.

On the Jordan rookie, is there a small stain on the white area of the right edge on the front?

Best looking 5 I have seen!

I see what you're looking at. I assumed a shadow, but maybe not.

It's amazing how widely the aesthetic look of a card can vary at the bottom end of the PSA grading spectrum.

I"ll go with an optimistic 3.5 on the Aaron card, even though it looks better then lots of 5's I've seen, and then will assume it will come in under a 3.

There.........I've covered all my bases.

I have never noticed it in-hand, but when I look at the photos it's in all of them. So yeah, I guess so. Eagle eye, my friend!

Thanks Ben, this is the right way to think of it. Even though the eBay sold prices make it very tempting, it’s staying in my personal collection.

My presumption based on the pics and the OP's assessment is that it's just one more example of PSA kicking the crap out of people who aren't their favorite submitters. I'd love to see what one of them would get on the same card.

I'm going to estimate a 2.5 on the Aaron. The centering and presentation really does deserve the half-grade bump, but I'm not sure they will consider those corners modern-day "3" corners.

They have gotten so tough. Unfairly so.

PSA is BS, they don't even follow their grading scale description
submit 10 times and you get 10 different result

No grade yet on the Aaron, although it was supposed to be 2-day service. Next week, I guess. It’s in QC 1 right now.

Exaggerate much?

I agree with a 3 on Hank. Another awesome card.
