The broken bones posted:Think there was any palm greasing (or maybe just handshake agreements) to get them to a PSA 10? I know they're a lot tougher on grading now than ever and it's virtually impossible to get a 10 these days. I had not heard that PSA is grading any tougher these days. Do you have any evidence for that, anecdotal or otherwise? I do know it's a lot tougher to get a BGS (Beckett) 10 than it is a PSA 10 though. BGS 9.5 is considered by most to be the same as a PSA 10. BGS 10's are rare and I've never seen one with all four subgrades a 10.

Got an Al Kaline auto out of an A&G box, where it's notorious to get some not-so-good hits, but I just like the style regardless.

More anecdotal than anything, but having spoken to some higher ups at heritage and a former PSA grader, they were saying a 10 ten years ago is a 8 or 9 today at best--if you have something graded by PSA in the 90s and early 00s, don't regrade it.

That actually makes a degree of sense if you correlate that with the fact that the market was HUGE for graded cards then, more so even than today. There are just a lot less people in the hobby now that values have plummeted and many have left or been priced out of the market.

My hit from a box of 2012 Topps Series 2 was an Alex Avila relic.  At least I also pulled the David Freese where he's holding a squirrel, and the Rod Barajas error.

Nah, that pic is from a card trading forum where a guy posted all of his hits from an entire case. I just happened to see the Balloon Boy one and thought I'd post it here after the comment about it.

I just opened a box of Topps Heritage (2012) and my "hit" was a Jose Reyes relic (jersey). I now have a stupid question that I probably already know the answer to. He is in a Mets uniform on the card, if this was pulled in a box break I assume it goes to the Mets owner as opposed to the Marlins? Also got a Billy Butler refractor, which I'm sure will go for a king's ransom with the way they were nonstop booing Cano at the HR Debry. Wait, it's barely worth a buck? poo poo.

I bought a jumbo box of 2012 Topps Series 2 to put the set together and got stiffed on the autograph. This is the first time Topps has screwed me over on a hit! I'm still waiting to hear back from customer service on it. At best I'm going to get a book value $8 scrub right?

Any time people are complaining about their hits I have to bring up the full case plus half of another of 2010 Topps Chrome I broke when it came out. ZERO of Strasburg, Heyward or Castro. I was PISSED.

A couple people at the National who saw the PSA 10 Wagner said it had some bad registration issues (and thus was a questionable 10), which I suspect depressed the hammer price a lot. Still pretty strong given that this was only the first five percent or so of the find.

Have any of you guys ever gone to the National? After seeing Bill Simmons photoblogs of it, it seems like even if you didn't buy a thing the sheer amount of stuff there makes it an incredible day of browsing.

Considering that I haven't been to a convention since 1993, I'll assume things are a bit different now.
