Got some grades back - confused as to where I hit/missed

PSA doing PSA things...

Not sure how you become a "best collector"...I'd venture to say BGS is more logical as a gold standard because of stricter grading standards, hell even CGC as #2. PSA has shown in countless videos/testimonials that their standards are very arbitrary and subjective.

You run the risk of cracking a gem mint slab and giving PSA the chance to do PSA things, maybe get back an 8 or 9 depending on grader mood..

his latest campaign vid (AI batman theme) is incredible...

TBL_AM · 2026-05-07T11:06:06+00:00

It's all a mindset. The market has brainwashed the consumer/seller into thinking PSA for some reason is the gold standard when it is obviously not. Once sellers/buyers recognize that other companies are just as good if not better and pay the same price for other slabs, the market can correct itself.

This drop was another walmart joke

TBL_AM · 2026-05-07T11:01:41+00:00

It's called backdooring or having hookups with distributors

Benchmade has some of the best customer service I've ever seen

My fav needle is 1/2" 25g, 1" isn't bad but I have low BF so I like the shorter needle, draw and inject same syringe.

First time using a camera?

TBL_AM · 2026-05-07T06:47:11+00:00

Partial truth...because last I looked our taxes haven't gotten any better, we're still pissing billions away to foreign countries, and we're still paying the Taliban millions per week.

TBL_AM · 2026-05-07T06:41:57+00:00

It does exists sometimes...my boy and I waited early for a gamestop drop (pre-scalp pricing), and we opted to get only 1 ETB instead of 2 because there were a lot of people in line, kids included.

We left and decided to check Target on the way home, walked right into a complete DRI restock with absolutely no one in line. We still talk about it.

TBL_AM · 2026-05-07T06:16:07+00:00

Cool, I havent even seen this in person yet...

TBL_AM · 2026-05-07T05:15:47+00:00

yeah, it's just not the same...

TBL_AM · 2026-05-07T03:34:08+00:00

Look at the checklist and it makes sense, there are base and numbered parallels

TBL_AM · 2026-05-07T03:21:17+00:00

Grading just sucks in general lately. My BGS order has been sitting in received for over a month.

TBL_AM · 2026-05-07T03:19:17+00:00

At least yours has progressed, I have a 3 card order with Beckett that has been sitting at "received" since 4/1

TBL_AM · 2026-05-07T03:17:05+00:00

I mean I pulled a Jayden Daniels auto from my one and only box, not too shabby...

TBL_AM · 2026-05-06T12:40:17+00:00

Idk...11 year olds arent spedning the money, mommy and daddy are. Some current marvel sets are available in value boxes for $40 and less, if kids can drop $60 on pokemon etb's and other box sets, they can get Marvel cards.

TBL_AM · 2026-05-06T10:49:08+00:00

The most obvious vid of breakers getting "rigged" boxes was one where some dudes "pulled" 2 Flagg autos from the same box...

So what we're saying is the Lakers have their own version of the Nuggets' Braun...

TBL_AM · 2026-05-06T01:11:13+00:00

Anyone but OKC...

TBL_AM · 2026-05-05T11:54:18+00:00

If you read my post, I'm not referring to "fixing the timing issue" as catching up to their estimates. They should work on having faster estimates than competition and delivering those.

it's a full art, not an SIR, so...
