Good stuff Jolly, congrats. You should do more YT videos - very enjoyable!

Watched the video. That miscut Bench is neat. I'm not into the miscut stuff, but it's always interesting to see. Glad you got nearly all the grades you expected.

C'mon, guys, "Jolly" is only an adjective, not a name.

What I learned throughout this undertaking is that doing this stuff is tough, especially with it being a blind reveal. Once you jump in the pool, it's sink or swim time, no turning back. I was holding the printout of what my grade 'guesses' were right in my hand, yet every time I started talking about something, my train of thought temporarily disappeared as I tried to find what number I speculated each card would get, instead of just staying focused.

Note to self: despite the order of the cards in the pile, make sure your list of guesses is ordered chronologically, so you can quickly zero in of any card you want.

Good video Darren, I enjoyed it. Now why did they put a few cards in sleeves and the rest not? They did that to my last order.

If anyone watched the video, look at this 'revelation.' I did some research (well, 20 seconds of research), and according to the SGC POP report, my card is, in fact, the only one graded so far!!!

My "Please Note:" note worked!

Enjoyed your video very much! So nice that you got what you wanted with the labeling of the Kaline.

I wasn't so lucky when I submitted a ticket to a TPG with the description I wanted. Almost like they totally ignored my request, and it was similar to how other TPGs describe the ticket. I think I need to make a call to find out the reasoning. You've inspired me!

The route I took was peer pressure. In my note, I directly referred to how their competition (PSA, et al) puts it on the slab. That was a purposeful, "Hey, you better keep up with what your adversaries are doing." Wink wink.

When you talk to or e-mail them, send pics of how the other TPGs describe the ticket, as you said. That should spur them on to do the right thing next time. If it's a submission you're doing, definitely (new word) 'pleazenote' them.

In my experience, if you have a stack of slabs being returned in a box - they will put the first and the last card in sleeves to kind of bookend them, I guess.

It seems random, and would be nice if they just put every card in a sleeve. One of my pet peeves, expecially when watching YouTube videos of vintage cards, is these people who slam and stack and scratch raw slabs almost as soon as they get them back. You see it way more often than you would think, including on slabs that house ridiculously expensive cards. Pony up for some sleeves, people…if you can afford to spend hundreds of dollars and more on grading, you can afford a $5-10 pack of sleeves from UltraPro or Perfect Fit…
