PSA Grade N6 – Should I Try Again?

[smallstocks]

I have sent numerous cards in as part of larger PSA submissions (so there is no fee if the cards aren't graded and the shipping fees are absorbed by the entire lot) and I have had success many times on as many as 3rd or 4th tries, including a Ryan rookie recently.

I have also had plenty of success with reviews by choosing the cards wisely and understanding the increase in value if only a few cards bump up by a half or full grade (in the case of PSA 9 to PSA 10 bumps).

Re-grades, reviews, x-overs are a fool's bet and only for the well heeled. PSA certainly doesn't need your charitable donations to stay in biz. Save your money and avoid the further aggravation at $29 a pop. And, avoid this nonsense by sticking to PSA graded offerings, not raw.

For myself, nothing could be farther from the truth. At least as far as reviews are concerned. I have made a small fortune in increased value with about 25 PSA 9's that bumped to Gem Mint 10 with my '55 All-Americans. Just a guess, put with today's values that could amount to about a $50 to $75K collective increase in value.

If you have quality cards, and you send in a moderate size grouping of reviews (25+), I have found their bump rate to be 5 to 8%.....

So you're sending them in still in the holder and getting bumps? What about cracking them out? Are they now being marked with the A1 Technology and PSA won't regrade them? The reason I ask is because I have a card I'd like to resubmit. But I wouldn't bother if they are going to read the mark and give the card the same grade.
