@Jimmycardcollector It does seem stricter. This batch of cards I just sent was really nice. I expected to get at least 8-10 NM 7, maybe a few 8s. The order before this one I got way better grades, and the cards in this video are better. It's been inconsistent, which is the main thing that bothers me. I'm doing an experiment, seeing if I can make a profit grading and selling Vintage. With these grades, it's going to be tough. I figured I'd hit a few home runs on some of these but ended up getting bopped on the head.
PSA grading seems to have gotten stricter over the last few years, no? That’s why I don’t pay to grade cards.

@ nothing wrong with running an experiment to test out an idea!
You got robbed by arbitrary grading.
It was arbitrary grading. Instead of giving the grades they deserve, they limited the number of NM 7s I received.
