I’m not qualified to offer grading guesses, but you’ll need better pictures. Show all corners, preferably remove them from holders to eliminate glare, and better resolution.
from what I see, I'd say, save your money and wait for lower prices.
I have to much S**t; so if you working on sets or are a player/team collector, send me your want list, with conditions desired. Keep in mind I have a another job so please allow me a few days to respond.
A PSA 9 1985 All Star Strawberry last sold for $12. With shipping, grading fees, etc. you're jumping over a dollar to pick up a dime by grading your cards. Enjoy them as is.

And the centering on your Strawberry is probably not in the range of a PSA 9.
Interesting ... would you gentlemen like me to show you the results of the cards pictured after grading .?Im going to let you feast on ur own words ha. u boys hungry!...

Please do. I don't see any card in the pictures you posted that I would send in for grading. The pictures are not good enough for anyone here to accurately give a grade. The cards themselves aren't worth paying the cost to get graded even if they grade high.

pot luck, sunday dinner will be held on july 25th @ 7pm sharp. 2023.
Before sending any of these to PSA, take a look at ebay's auction sells or PSA's auction prices in PSA 8 condition, and see which ones may be worth sending in at current PSA prices. Like others have said, I don't see anything here that I would be sending in to PSA.
Please don't just send these to PSA to "prove us wrong". You will be wasting a lot of money.

I'm with you Owlx, grade those cards and make these know-nothings eat their words! And submit them Super Express so they'll have to eat their words right away. That Manny Trillo card will earn back your grading fees all by itself.
This is for you @thisistheshow - Jim Rice was actually a pretty good player.
@Tibor said: @blurryface I've got the date marked. Put me down as "+1". Is this
black tie or semi-formal?
well that depends…
if he subs them this week, we will push the date up and it most certainly would be a black-tie affair since theyd be $250 a pop/plate.
if he waits til they open back up in janurary and pays the bulk rate, the 2023 date will be upheld. in that case its a “no shirt, no shoes, no problem” affair.
Both OC L/R. Cases are too scuffed to say what’s on the plastic vs what’s on the card, but looks like an awful lot of white on the top edge of that Bonds. Neither is a 10, so might not recover grading fees (I don’t know the market for these, but I assume they’re plentiful enough in 6/7/8 that they sell for less than grading would cost).
I’ll repeat my first post to you - if you want serious opinions, take better pictures.

Of all the pics you showed, the 19865 TT Bonds, the 1989 TT Griffey, and the 1980 Topps Rose are probably the best you have. If it was me, I would take good clear pictures of the entire card and put them for sale on ebay in three different auctions. You won't get much, maybe $5 - $10 each, but that's probably the best way to sell them. IMO, they aren't worth grading.
Well, if those are Bonds and Griffey Tiffany cards...you have a little money there. Otherwise, the regular issues are abundant and have very little to any value.

What I typically do is go to ebay and type in the card and "PSA 9" to see what the card sells for in that condition. In your first picture, the all-star cards aren't worth submitting to PSA. The 1982 Topps Ripken in your second picture is an awesome card and one of the classic cards of the 80's, and I think you already know that because you gave a full picture for that card by itself just like you did the Griffey and the Bonds. If you search for "1982 Topps Ripken PSA 9" you will see that there is some value to the card. The other thing you can do is search for "1982 Topps Ripken" and see what they sell for raw. Again, the Ripken will sell for more than any other card you have shown so far. I would also make sure to search for "sold" auctions to see what the actual realized prices are. Someone may ask $1,000 for their raw Ripken, but that doesn't mean that is what they sell for.
Like others have said, for us to give an accurate idea of a possible grade, you need to remove it from the holder and give us a really good clear picture, and maybe even a detailed pic of each corner. If you have a magnifying glass, especially a 10x loupe, take a look at the edges, corners, surface, etc... A PSA 10 card would look nearly perfect under 10x magnification. A PSA 9 card will look nearly perfect with the naked eye. By giving us good and clear pictures, we can tell you if you have a chance at a PSA 9.

As said above pictures are not good enough.

All PSA 7's with 2 being miscut, 1 is altered, about 5 have print stains.
And the centering on your Strawberry is probably not in the range of a PSA 9.

^ agreed. and at a min of $250 pop for now, youd be wasting $5k+ easy for maybe $200 total value when you got them back.

WOW, you have one heck of a collection. There has to be at least $3 worth of cards there.
Absolute beauties! I'm definitely jealous.
