CGC/JSA Authentication Returns

Despite the one lost card that I mentioned in an earlier post, the rest of the order turned out great.

I was slightly disappointed that the Killebrew autograph card didn't grade a 10, and surprised that the card did.  I mailed the card in a plain envelope with a regular sase, and never took any special care beyond normal.  I think this autograph looks better than some of the others which graded higher, so I don't understand the grading criteria.


Cards with up to two signatures can still have the autographs graded.  Both of my cards signed by two players graded a 10.



Doesn't the Killbrew autograph look nicer than Pete Hamm's?  Hamm's is a bit light, and Nettles' runs into a very dark area so you can't read the end of it.  Oh well.

One of the cards has three signatures, so there's no grade, but I like the way it looks slabbed.


The rest of the cards are Hall of Famer rookie cards, and they were all graded 10!
