While my last post was pretty down on the grading process, I did have a more recent experience that was a lot better. I'm just a nobody doing very small submissions from time to time, for reference. I recently submitted some Ohtani rookie cards that I had picked up raw on eBay over the years for next to nothing, hoping to get a few before the hype train. I submitted 7 of these that I thought were 10 contenders, and was thrilled to have 5 come back PSA 10, one in a 9, and just one in an 8. Pretty thrilled with those numbers! I do think it would be next to impossible to repeat this, and very much think the grade depends on the grader's mood that particular day, not a great system to be sure, but for trying to turn a $5-10 purchase into a $300 sale, there's not much of a choice but to play that game.

If someone else submits the card, it is a 10.
