That was my thinking too! Shocked a gem like that went through dcsports87 consignment on eBay…so happy I sniped it and won 👍

Thanks Nick! 🙌

I love the classic design too! I’m still really sad about the gold refractor Dwight Howard rookie from my missing SGC order :(

@@littlevictoriessportscards197 Dude, I seriously get bummed when I think of that missing order. I'm trying to think of the bright side/lessons learned, but it just sucks... you seriously do everything correctly, in good order, check all the boxes, for the right reasons, as a job, providing for the fam, and you just get screwed with nobody to blame but the mailman. Just know that despite this hiccup, you're doing all you can to further your future and sometimes the dice roll the wrong way, but next time you'll get a break!

I appreciate the comment! 👍 Yeah, I needed more 10’s on those black refractors overall, but I’m really happy I had at least one solid order of them. I think I’m at 60% finished with the black set already 😅 Definitely try grading your sweet spots with PSA…they look great slabbed up. Happy collecting!

🤞 Good luck! Let me know how the grades turn out 👌 Thanks for watching!

I always appreciate your comments 🙏 Yeah, the autos on those helmets are usually rough too…fading or chipping constantly. I do miss upper deck products!

Finally got an order where things bounced my way 😅 That Frank Gore is so hard to value…I’m still contemplating selling it or not. Thanks for always watching!

Such a mystery. Do you have any theories? Maybe some orders go through practice/testing with new graders? Ship to Japan office to get them experience? Who knows. But I’d rather take a long wait or with good grades than a quick order with bad grades 😅

@@littlevictoriessportscards197 IT might be they assign orders to grader based on number of orders each have and not number of cards in each order. So lets say grade A, B, C, D each got one of your NY specials and they all had same number of orders but A,B,C had a total of 100 cards while D had 1000 cards. So your order with grader D takes him longer to get to and then gets in the back of the line for assembly. But that is just a guess. Would be interesting to know how they assign and their workflow.

interesting thought. You might be right. I too am so interested in PSA's workflow structure@@josh7954

Thanks! Yeah, those helmet cards are so rough. I wish I had a few more orders where my black refractors got more 10’s, but I’ll take it 👍

Agreed! It’s nice to hear your analysis on card grading and how PSA has changed. Especially grading centering. First PSA sub in about 3 years goes out next week.

No problem! Thank you for watching 👍 I’m stoked my reveals can help. Good luck submitting, and happy collecting!

Good luck on your first PSA sub in 3 years! I hope you do great. And thanks so much for watching my content @@HardCharger17

2010 was a frustrating rip, I remember 😅 You only got only one auto and it was always terrible. That rookie class wasn’t great. Gronk and Trent are the main two I believe

@@littlevictoriessportscards197 One of my collecting 'peaks' was 1999-2003 baseball, so I'm quite familiar with dead years! I remember going to my LCS and buying Kwame Brown instead of Kobe. Specifically a Kwame Brown Pristine SP Refractor for $40 instead of a lot of the Cutting Edge inserts with Iverson, Kobe etc. That's the same LCS I bought most of my 90's cards though, so I'm not SOL 😊

Thanks! I wish I could have that grader every order 🤪 Hope you’ve been well!

Thanks! 🙌 I haven’t decided whether I’m going to sell the Gore or not 🤪

No problem 👍 Happy to help! Thanks for watching my content

Thanks! I was very happy with the order…especially the Frank Gore 💎 I appreciate you watching my content

Heck yeah! Love to hear that 👍 You must have an excellent pre-submission eye…great work

It really was like winning a lottery ticket! 😅 From those packers cards…you definitely know just how thick they are. Did they make a Jordy Nelson helmet auto rc?

@@littlevictoriessportscards197 None of the ones I have are autos. I just love the uniqueness of the mini helmet card. I was able to buy the whole Packer team set for about $60

amazing deal! @@GoldenSlumber474

Lol, you know it! 🧊 Megatron can withstand anything!

Thanks…I appreciate the comment and view! 🙌

I knew I wasn’t crazy 🤪 Thanks for making me feel better about that one! And thanks for watching!

Great to hear he’s still alive 🙌 I knew something unfortunate happened to him :( Thanks for the info and always watching!

🤣 I feel terrible. Sorry Shawn Bradley! Glad you’re alive! 😊

I was lucky to have bought big collections from 2010-2016 before the boom hit 👍 And I currently snipe auctions on eBay so I’m getting them for great deals. Thanks for watching and the comment, much appreciated

Just looked…it was shipped back from Cali 👍 And it took like 2 weeks in Assembly. Any theories why certain orders take longer? Thanks for watching!

@@littlevictoriessportscards197 maybe the larger orders?

Possibly. It's such a mystery. I wish we knew more about the inner-workings of PSA @@KP-AC

Such a huge mistake! I can’t believe Panini did that, or maybe I can lol 😂

Lol, very true 😂 I’ve cracked out many BGS auto’s in my day. They seem to crack out just fine, same as regular non-auto cards 👍 I don’t think you need to do anything different. Thanks for always watching!

@@littlevictoriessportscards197 have you ever had the inner sleeve lift any of the auto off the card?

Nope, not so far. That would be beyond disappointing@@joeday17821

@@littlevictoriessportscards197can I send it to you to crack and clean for me? Its a big Brady rookie auto haha

I don’t sell auction style so my sales take anywhere from 1 day to 400 days. Because of that I don’t make follow up vids 👍 Thanks for watching and the comment 🙌

I’m about 60% done with the set 👌 So my guess, I still need around 65 cards 👍 Thanks for watching!

Amazing gem rate! 👌 I’m thinking your eye for Gems is improving and doing great, because overall I’ve noticed psa grading a little tougher lately 👍

I’d say probably the same amount of time, my guess around 25-35 days 👌 I was sending to SGC too, but my last order with them went missing (missing since early December) in the mail on the way back to me, and I haven’t been a fan of how they’ve handled it yet 😬 Thanks for watching!

Great to hear! 🙏 I feel bad I even thought he died 🤪

@@littlevictoriessportscards197 I think you may have confused him with Manute Bol who died in 2010. There were only a few of those extremely tall guys around.

Yep, got both 👌 Love the way the Miami Heat players look with the matching black refractors

@@littlevictoriessportscards197 do you have any for sale? I like psa 9s if you have those you wanna get rid of

@@littlevictoriessportscards197 I’m looking for Haslem, Wade and Mike millers black refractors in psa9

I don't have any Wade's or Haslem's for sale right now, but I do have a mike miller psa 10 available in my ebay store. Thanks!@@EatinGoodOsrs

Good observation! It was honestly me just being a little lazy before, a little too quick to submit. I take more time, and have perfected what to look for 👍

@@littlevictoriessportscards197 So do you think people just blame PSA for bad grades when they are the actual ones who are being lazy in observing before submissions?

Correct, I'd say 90-95% of the time that's the case. @@JackSagan

I haven’t decided whether I want to sell it yet 🤪 It’s also really hard to figure out a price. But keep an eye on my eBay store…if I do decide to sell it, it will be listed sometime this week 👍

Let me know. Big Gore PC over here.

Lol 😂 That was my bad

Mark Eaton passed away.

EV means estimated value, and EP means estimated profit :) Thanks for the view and comment!

PSA has monthly grading specials. For the month of January it was $14.99 per card. Thanks for watching! 🙌

@littlevictoriessportscards197 I've only seen tcg at 15$ a card how can I see when the prices change I look at the website all the time but it's never changed from 19$

@@CCCollectives Check at the begining of each month that is when they usually post any new Member specials. Not every month will have one or they have very specific special, 1980s for $16 or something like that. If you have Instagram they post on their account there as well.

​@@CCCollectivesThen you're not paying attention. There was a modern cred special for $15 from January 1st to February 1st.

PSA emails you about the specials, and there is a big banner on the psa homepage which shows the specials too. And when you submit you can see the special on there too @@CCCollectives
