You'd be surprised sometimes. There was a 1989 UD Griffey PSA 2 or 3 - I forget the exact grade but very low - that sold recently for almost $1200. Turns out that some people collect "rainbows" of some cards - that is, they want every grade from 1-10. Well, low grades of that card are REALLY rare, so they sell for big money.

I doubt that's what's going on with that Clemens though That one is more likely just the WTF you mentioned

Wait, so you're telling me that I can take my EX-MT Griffey Upper Deck RC and attach it to the wall with a thumbtack after throwing it against the wall a few times and send it off to PSA and make money? Does this count as an "alteration"? Wait until BODA gets a hold of this new strategy! Bring in the feds!

1s are easy to get - it's those sweet, sweet 2s, 3s and 4s that are tough

I sold/traded my upper deck Griffey psa 1 for a lot. Not quite psa 10 value but more than a couple 9’s

Need a update Soto Psa 3 to complete my 1-10 run. pop 1

Now that PSA has decided to give all creased cards a 1, you'll probably have to get more creative to get those 2s and 3s.

I accidentally sent in the wrong 89 UD Griffey from my collection a couple years ago (I had a mint one that I was planning to grade and one with a very minor surface wrinkle on it). I was planning to send in the mint one for grading and give the one with the wrinkle to a friend as a gift. I accidentally sent the wrinkled one to PSA and the mint one to my buddy. When it came back from PSA, they gave it a 6, which I thought was odd. Because if they missed the wrinkle, it should have gotten a 9, but if they caught it, I would have thought they'd given it a 4. Apparently wrinkles can get higher than a 4 with PSA.

...I've been looking to upgrade this player in this pose since 2007 so I imagine there's fewer than 25 which were saved ; I realize I'm in the incorrect thread but this thread needs a card every hundred posts or so ...

I got a PSA 6 on a Score Chipper Jones rookie, little wrinkle that I missed when I submitted it.
