    Dimple Question

    Wondering if anyone has any idea if these are “dimples” and how negatively these would impact a potential PSA grade?

    Average Grade Question

    I had another question - that I think ties into the one above… I’ve been looking at the PSA pop reports and some of the cards im looking at collecting, 65%-80% of the cards submitted to PSA are fetching 10’s…. Does this mean that if I buy one of these cards raw on EBay or COMC, I have 65-80%...

    Average Grade Question

    I’ve heard it be said that the average modern card comes out of the pack at about a PSA 9 based on improving manufacturing technology with the caveat that cheaper sets may be lower. Would you all generally agree with this statement? And if so what are some of the NFL sets that would fall into...

    Centering Question

    Maybe you can elaborate on this a bit? I can understand that the “image” (the picture inside a border) needs to be centred. But are you saying that the player needs to be centred? How would that be determined in the case of a card with an action shot?

    Centering Question

    But isn’t it possible that the front and back can be Centred differently? Doesn’t PSA have different criteria for front and back?

    Centering Question

    Wondering how the Centering of a card like the attached is determined when being graded, since there’s not a “square” border around the perimeter of the card?

    Cost Base Question

    Thanks that’s what I was wondering. I’m not interested in getting into this as a means to generate income. I was thinking about it more like collecting art. I just think that its interesting to track the value of the collection over time. My long term plan is to give the whole collection to my...

    Cost Base Question

    I’ve been familiarizing myself with the approximate values of a decent size handful of particular cards that I’m targeting for acquisition, and I’ve downloaded a few apps for tracking my “collection” (may be bit of an overstatement as I probably only have about 10 cards right now) and it’s...

    COMC Pricing Question

    So cool… I appreciate everyone welcoming me to the community and helping me out… I really only have a want list right now, as I don’t really have too much of a collection yet. And I’m really trying to make sure I do my homework before I start buying everything in sight.

    Due Diligence and inspecting card photos/ scans?

    I’ve done a bunch of searching and shockingly I can’t find any information or articles online regarding tips for inspecting photos/ scans of cards, and/ or what questions to ask a seller about condition when shopping online… Wondering if you guys have any tips that you would be willing to...

    COMC Pricing Question

    Thanks so much for the reply… I’m eager to get started but don’t want to blow my bankroll buying over paying, or blow by buying cheap low priced garbage. One other question if I may - a few sellers on COMC I noticed have a number of the same card for sale but it looks to me like it may be the...

    COMC Pricing Question

    Hey Guys, New to this forum and just getting back into the hobby…. I’m noticing a HUGE price discrepancy on the same raw cards on COMC. I noticed that there can be 10 sellers selling the exact same card but one seller is ask $12 and one is asking $100. Was wondering if the pricing is directly...
