What price sub did you grade this in. I’m finding psa are not up charging as much when sending cards in bulk but rather grading it lower to fit the price range of said card. Almost like well if you think it bulk we will grade it as bulk and assume it not perfect.
Unfortunately i paid a decent amount to grade this as value plus along with some other cards
I have never found paying more money to increase grades
In fact my most “generous” grades seem to come from the lowest bulk tiers
I received and cracked my card
Went pitch dark room to more easily reveal flaws. Tried different angles and color temperatures under magnification
Confirmed zero scratches
Actually feel okay right now because im seeing it as an opportunity
Sending it off to cgc tomorrow

I’ve gotten grades lower than expected for my last 5 subs but I’m also a firm believer most people think their cards are in better condition than they are. I did learn the hard way that PSA quietly changed its centering guidelines for 10s though, that cost me a few bucks.
