Personally, I chose to stay away from the NM/MT specimens. I am curious as well though, but I'm sure people won't know until they come back from PSA. In 4-5 months, I expect results to come trickling in.

I am sure many if not most guys here can detect an obvious flaw that wasn't apparent from the scan, without needing PSA to tell them about it. I might not be able to detect expert microtrimming, but I could certainly tell if corners had more wear than the scan and grade suggested, or if there were wrinkles or stains, etc. etc.

The only NMMT cards I won were a 1972 Pete Rose, 1984 Fleer Don Mattingly and 1985 Topps McGwire. I'd be surprised if any grades less than a 7, so I would have to give them a pass there, but those are low dollar "newer" cards.

I'll be submitting those 3 and the '53 Paige early in April. So we'll know by maybe late July?

Like a lot of others I only bid on lower end stuff. I won most of the Berk Ross cards.

Maybe someone will go to a show and get a card graded on site, but unlikely due to on-site fees

I will say as one of the morons who stuck up for Daniel I STILL have not received my cards or even a tracking # that they are on the way.

Emailed with no response yet.

EDIT: Just heard back and they are being sent out tomorrow. I sent a check and knew it would be delayed but didn't figure it would be this long.
