Reality check on low grade 1966 Topps hockey

I have about 4 dozen of these, in roughly the same condition. I am trying to better understand whether they would likely grade as 1 or 1.5? Would a 2 be unrealistic? I have posted some representative samples below.

Obviously all have significant corner issues and some edge problems. Some have folds/creases: the Orr on at least one corner, the Howe across its entire width and also its height. The top Shack is creased on the left of the card across the shoulder and then towards jersey laces, the bottom Shack is creased on the right side. I'm just not sure how the total damage adds up in terms of grading. The corners would probably qualify for "extreme wear", so that makes me think 1.5 is best to hope for.

Thanks for looking! These cards are so much fun to have and to look at; makes me feel like a kid again.
