After getting my cards from my parents house and realizing I may have some valuable cards....guys yesterday told me that I had to Free MJ & Griffey from the screw downs. 
Man that was stressful.............about 50 86 Fleer's in the case with Nance on top.

gorgeous cards...congrats on the find (way to go parents for keeping them for you)!
The Elway has a little white dot on the front by the D. Honestly the Griffey seems perfect. The Jordan seems amazing as well, but from looking at images of 7-10's online...to me some 8's look perfect. Of course what do I know. As far as condition of the cards...they are pretty mint. Now how they came off the press..that's for PSA I guess.
Don't overlook the other 86 Fleers, in high grade 9's they have tremendous value.
Search ebay for 86 Fleer whomever the name in PSA 9 and you will be happy.
Successful card BST transactions with cbcnow, brogurt, gstarling, Bravesfan 007, and rajah 424.
Here's what '87 Jordan in PSA 9 are fetching
Disregard the o/c 9s. Yours isn't off center

Yea...I'm shocked. I have the Johnny Moore and honestly it's almost the only 1 that doesn't have 4 perfect corners. 1 of them is a little dinged.
Keep the bar a little lower. Search PSA 8.
Cards look awesome tho!
I assume grading is more difficult now than years ago?
Yes, very picky.
Might surprise you tho. You'll get great feedback from other members. They know their cards
Very nice centering on the Elway and the Griffey hologram. Keep us updated on how the grades turn out if you go that route.
So not off center on the MJ? I was analyzing the white border and how it slanted a bit. Nothing you can do about the grade I guess,,,but either way they are like time capsules from my childhood. What are your thoughts on the Elway and Griffey? The Dominique is big $ as well.
Congrats such an awesome discovery. I’ve been getting email pics from friends past few months all hoping their discovered cards have value. Yours are first ones I’ve seen with any substantial value.
Here is a high end 87 MJ so you can compare.
8, 8, 9 would be my guesses for submission values. Jordan centering is nice R/L, but pretty far off T/B.
Beautiful cards. That’s like having a savings account you forgot about
"I spent 50% of my money on alcohol, women, and gambling. The other half I wasted.
Here's an OC Jordan.
I can't say with yours.
Where's Nic with his measuring tool & calculator?
Jeez, there's a fine line
Ha Ha Nice work. I will say that my card is pretty flawless as far as the picture itself. There are no dots or imperfections that I can see. It just looks really good in person. Not that I'm bias.
They are ultra tough on 87’s, but yours looks like an 8.
Elway has a few things on it that would make me wonder if raw is the way to go, but who knows.
I don’t see anything with the Griffey that would keep me from grading it.
