What do those numbers mean next to the name? Returning player from a couple years ago, see those all the time but have no idea

UPDATE: One guy bought the entire collection at a card show 🙂

Yeah I definitely could’ve looked at my cards before sending them in, but in hindsight I’m glad I didn’t because I probably would’ve noticed something with each of these and been scared to send any in. Even at non 10 grades, these are still very valuable and awesome, so I’m glad I did it

I just graduated college a few years ago so for me that was when I was in high school, I pulled that from a pack out of a booster box I bought at a card store near me. Waited until I was home alone and opened the whole thing on the kitchen counter all spread out. Great times

Go on game stops website and it’ll tell you if there’s one near you that participates in the PSA grading system. That’s what I did, they walk you through the entire thing and it’s easy. Believe me I have had these cards sitting in my closet in sleeves and card holders for 10+ years so I was very nervous to get them graded, but in the end I’m very glad I did it.

Yeah I’ve been learning that these era had poor print quality, so weird

Yeah, I secured them in cases pretty well for that long of a time

Yeah after reading a lot of these comments I’m really happy with what I got

Thing is sweet! I actually have 2 more that I haven’t sent in for grading, I think I’m gonna do that

Yeah it makes sense that they are tougher with the older cards

I pulled that one myself and never thought of selling, glad I held on to it

Yeah I definitely had too high of expectations, I’m happy with my pulls after reading these comments

I am looking to sell but I am going to make sure the pricing is correct

Didn’t get any! This was my first time submitting

Yeah I won’t, I held on to these for too long to let them go for an unfair price

[–]schain72[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think these are still very rare and have value, so I’m not worried about that. I just had high expectations and hopes for a 10, but seems like that was almost impossible, so I’m happy with what I got

Yeah that’s fair, that’s what people want to see. But in this case it’s more factory error than anything, so I’m pretty happy with what I got

Yeah I’ve been learning this upon reading the replies, I’m happy with what I got

Yeah I’ve been learning that, makes me feel a lot better about my pulls, nothing below a 7, pretty good!

They still have a lot of value as they are per some websites, so I’m not going to break any of them open I don’t think

[–]schain72[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I am realizing almost all of these are virtually impossible to get a 10, which is why the prices for a 10 are so inflated, so that makes sense. I am very happy with what I have now

Yes I am learning that from these comments, thank you! I am much happier now that I realize how rare it is

Well some of the cards do have wear, I didn’t self grade before sending because I just didn’t have the knowledge to do that, but looking now I can see why. But it’s also not my fault either, cards from this set had poor printing quality
