Isn't there a section for 1980s-Present?

Yes there is and that is where it should have gone. The OP and I have communicated about it privately. Not a huge deal but, for the most part, we try to keep things in their proper places. As some mentioned, this subject sort of transcended the actual card and was more about the service. Hey at least the OP wasn't spamming refrigerator, Ipad, widget etc... sales!!

Grading standards have changed over time. The original PSA 9 1980 Topps Rickey Henderson was graded some time ago, quite likely during the Baker/Rocchi era. Since then, some types of printing defects have been judged with greater severity. "Snow" or imperfect printing in dark, background areas where small specks of white can be seen is one such defect. It appears that there's a hint of that on the original PSA 9 Henderson. That may have been the reason for the downgrade when you cracked and resubmitted.

Haha and then best regards? Sounds like you want to rub his face in the dirt and then wish him well afterwards...doesn't make sense to me.

If someone likes to collect raw cards I wish you the best and if someone collects graded cards I like to see them receive high grades because it makes them more valuable when it comes time to sell. I don't feel any ill will towards anyone so happy collecting everyone!!! Thanks, Andy

I'm with ya on this one, Andy. I enjoyed looking at your grades when they came back from PSA...unfortunately for you they weren't all great, but sometimes you take that chance and lose. And if you thought you could improve on those grades, then it was smart of you to resubmit to try to get a bump. I just see no reason for anyone to rub your face in it...it just makes them look stupid. If I cared enough, I would go through and look for bump candidates, but I just want to add to the collection right now. For me, looking at the grades fresh from the grading company can be like opening a xmas present, so I get the feeling and I enjoy it. Hopefully you will have better luck next time

TPGs get people more riled up than anything else.
