Yes I cleaned them well. I always clean them. As you can see from my sig I have been fairly lucky with completing this set. Just having issues with the final few cards.
2 of them were resubs. One had a 9.5 surface the first time and the other had a 9 surface. :? I thought they were good to go. I just can't figure it out.

If at first you don't succeed, try and try again.

Keep them slabbed and send in for a sub bump. No reason to crack out a card with (3) 9.5's. Besides, as it's already happened to you, they could LOWER the grade on re-examination if you crack it out. They can't do that if you leave it slabbed.

I have the same problem with BGS. I had at least 10 cards subbed, all had 3 grades of 9.5 or better and all the cards came back with either a 8 or 8.5 on the surface grade. WTF? And I checked and cleaned the surface of each card before the submission.

Seems your cards were on the 8.5 surface day. I think they give out 9's on Wednesday and 9.5's on Thursday.
So next time mail in accordingly and then pick the 10 day service as so it can fall on being graded on Thursday.

I was told by someone at BGS that the surface on the front of the card and the surface on the back of the card both count toward your grade. On that note, be careful what you submit as far as card backs go.

Yeah, screw BGS for not giving every single card a 9.5. Who would ever be happy with a mint 9. Just keep sending them your cash.

It's not about having every card come back as gem mint, slick. In a typical situation a 9 is fine with me. But I am trying to finish this set with every card being Gem Mint. I was just frustrated that the 3 I sent in were all .5 from being Gem Mint. Not to mention the fact that before I resubmitted them they had better surface grades. I would have been happy at 33%. So now I will have to continue my search and buy other copies to grade or resubmit these. Either way it will cost me money. Who cares if my cash goes to BGS or someone selling the cards?

Better yet, send 'em, say, $80 and just tell them the grade you want on it! Saves time!

If I had lots of money to burn, I'd send in the same card like 20 times and see the deviation in subs.
