Well, I enjoyed it so much the first time, that I decided to throw a few more cards into PSA for appraisal. This time I went with a bunch of D-Will's, a couple of recently added TD inserts and tried my luck on a few 03/04 rookie cards.
I am overall quite happy, if not a bit perplexed about a few gradings.
First up let's take a look at my 03-04 RC attempts:
Happy with the Melo...but really not sure myself why the Wade and LBJ are scored that poorly. No big deal, it just sapped a bit of confidence in my card picking ability. I would have sent the LBJ anyways to be honest, so I maybe didn't expect a great grade on that, but the Wade I could have gone either way and did not expect a 6....oh well, the Melo 9 is a nice one.
Let's go to PC cards, next up these fine TD inserts:
Very happy with these, not sure exactly how acetate and foil cards lose out on marks...but no drama.
And let's end it with a few D-Wills:
Pretty happy with all of those, the Fan Favorite I pulled in my first box back into NBA cards from an OZCT group break...speaking of which, there will be a couple of live breaks soon of my 2 Fleer E-X boxes from the group break a couple of months ago!

The next two I am very happy with...two firsts for me...

My first GEM 10 card.....a personal pull that as well, it is also the /100 version...sweet!
And then my favorite from this lot I'd say....

A real sexy card from a great looking set, in GEM 10 condition...what more could you want???
Thanks for checking out my grading run #2...hopefully some more to come in the future!
