What do you think the PSA grading of these Henderson rookies would be?

Hey all,
Trying to figure out what grade these cards may get. I have never submitted a card for grading, so I have no idea what to expect. I have two Henderson rookies. The first one I bought from a dealer back in the mid 80s. I was a huge fan back in the day. He thought the card was so nice he immediately put it in a hard case. I remember talking about it with him, as he thought it would grade pretty high. If I was going to submit it, I'd have to figure out how I will ever get it out of this case...so I'd like to get an idea if it's worth the effort.

The second one I traded one of friends my Commodore 64 back in the early 90s for the 1980 Topps set among some other cards as well. This is what that Henderson card looks like.

Does anyone have any opinions?
Thanks so much for your help!

Need a closer look at the corners. Centering is good on front and back. PSA is grading Hendersons very tough at the moment. I would guess 8 or 9 , but if any of the corners are not perfect it will be an 8. IF they are , could be a 9 or 8.5 (depending on the mood of grader)
Great, thanks for the feedback!
Because of the corners, I say a PSA 8 is the Top of the range. The OC one with corners is at most a 7, but more likely a 6 on down.
Gotcha. Thanks for taking the time!
Centering looks good on the first one. Looking at the surface and limited view of corners, I'd go 8. The bottom edge and corners are killers on the 2nd one. I'd go 6. Two nice cards regardless.
Thanks,

The centered one is really nice... 9 on a good day, but typically with this card whatever you think the grade will be, go down a grade. REALLY tough card to get a good grade.
