I used to routinely hit 50-60% with 59's, even higher sometimes. Not so much anymore. Why? What changed? Your guess is as good as any.

Crack em' and send em". This eliminates the prejudice.

cammb: Almost all of mine are crack and send; the 50%+ success rate is based on that. When I don't bust them out, it's because either (a) I don't have enough confidence they will cross, or (b) if I'm wrong and they wouldn't make the SGC equivalent grade, the residual value is higher in the other holder.

trex: Old pair of eyes is one guess. Not the exhuastive list though.
