I had two cards that I wanted to grade to improve sale value, so I rounded out a 10 card order with some SPa 264s. I noted, that any that would score less than 8.5 to just authenticate, so at least they were encased. Not great, but not terrible, I expected better results. Really disappointed in the AJ Green, because I gave up so much for it....LOL. Will post scans on Wednesday when they arrive.

The reason I sent in an order (really thought DD could get a 10).

2012 Certified Mirror Emerald Signatures Matt Ryan 1/5 - 9.5


2011 Playoff Contenders Super Bowl Tickets Autographs Donald Driver /10 - 9.5 Driver is going back to be re-slabbed due to imperfection in case.

Wasn't that DD a replacement for you? a 9.5 is pretty great, but I remember the card and can see why you thought it warranted a 10. Congrats.

The SPA's don't grade well historically. A 9 is great with them, and a 9.5 is like getting a 10 on a normal card. You did ok. What was off with the Contenders?

Can't wait to see the scans, Mr. 264. It's always a bit disappointing to get lower grades than you were expecting. At least the two you wanted to improve sale values for came back gold...

Congrats on a few 9.5's!
