Curious if anyone knows whether the cert ID on PSA slabs can be used to approximate the date that the card was graded? If so, is there any documentation on which ranges of Cert IDs correspond to certain date ranges?

You’ve seen the posts on every social media platforms, because the algorithm is feeding you, but the absolute hate that “card experts” reply with just disappoints me. What happened to helping our neighbors? What happened to the leaders of society? It’s no longer first instinct to help someone even if you don’t know them. It’s all about “me.” And I’m going to sound like the old guy in the room, but social media has made everyone feel like the main character of the movie, when they’re not even the main character in their home.

To counter that, I’ve been doing something about it. I call and tell the manager/owner about amazing service I’ve received. I hold the door for anyone. You could be more than 5ft away, I’m still holding it. No, no. You don’t have to fast-walk/run. I committed to holding the door for you and I’m seeing it through. I put my shopping cart in the corral. I’ve even stopped to push stalled/broken-down cars out of the road when hundreds just went around. Why? Because they’re the right things to do and it really takes minimal effort. Do 1% more to make the world better each day.

I digress.

Should I get this card graded, and since Beckett was bought out, should their grades be compatible to PSA?

Do you agree with these grades? Look at these signatures.

Has anyone ever submitted magazines to PSA for grading? I’m thinking of sending off these 3 Beckett’s I’ve had ever since they came out. Especially the Braves cover

Oh, and in 1996 Ken Griffey JR Upper Deck rookie was at $75 😂

When I sent these in to grade I felt and still feel that the Wilt was the sharper card, yes it’s off centered but corners and edges look way cleaner than the Kareem, which is definitely more valuable with that grade bump. If the had both gotten the same grade I wouldn’t have been surprised but for there to be a whole grade difference was a bit shocking.
