I was expecting a 1 but hoping for a possible 1.5 on the T205 Mathewson. While the front has great eye appeal, the back has paper separating from the card which I guess resulted in the 1 even with the eye appeal of the front.

The T206 Mathewson Portrait has several creases but also is still a nice looking card. I would expect a 1 on it as well. I'll find out eventually.

That Christy is a beautiful one. Should sell quickly.

Pretty funny that a few hours after I started this thread, I received an email from PSA that my submission was now in Grading.

That Christy is beautiful.

I would be interested in it!

SGC has whipped cards around for me.

Just submitted my first PSA order for a single card on a promo.

Sent card on Nov 22, received 26th. Still in research stage as of Dec 27th.

I know it said 45 days, but still seems like a long time for a single card.

Not complaining though, submission was free and I am in zero rush, so as long as the card comes back in tact and safe, I’m a happy man!

How are y’all getting these grading promos?

I’ve been waiting for PSA to offer a special on T206s. Anybody know if they’ve done so before and what the terms were?

I think the Mathewson t205 is his finest card. Yours is beautiful. Best of luck with it

Apparently, I had created a PSA account at some point years ago, but I have no idea when. I had never submitted anything for grading in all the time I had an account so for some reason, they sent me an offer for credit up to $75 for a grading submission during Thanksgiving. I had never received any offers from them before so not sure why I got the one this time, but I have been going through a large collection a friend acquired and happened to find a T206 Mathewson Portrait that I used the offer to submit for grading.

As of tonight, the order is now in Assembly so didn't take long to go through Grading (from Friday to Monday). It would be nice if I can see the grade tomorrow instead of having to wait at least 2 more days because of New Years Day. How long does Assembly usually take?
