i had a ottawa player 11-12 auto spa future watch and recieved a surface grade of a four.

has this happen to anyone else that sent in a card that had a surface grade so low for a recently made card?

Was it a certified auto card? Sometimes this is a factor. I tried to find it, but I couldn't. If it's a certified auto'd card, the auto can affect your Surface subgrade.
