Here's a topic that some of you may find interesting...
I've hidden the grades on these cards. Please post what grade you would give these two cards.
I'll post a scan of the card grades tomorrow.
Those of you who have some knowledge of the cards in my set, please don't influence the outcome of this informal "survey".
Thanks,
Steve

Petrocelli- 8.....would be my (uneducated) guesses
Could you break the cards out of the holders and post better scans?
I'm really on the fence here and don't want to stir up another love fest.
Those corners are really nice.
But something tells me it might be a trick question so, I'll also toss out a 9 for the Petrocelli and a 7 for the Kaline.
I have a few hundred extra PSA graded 1971 Kellogg's cards. E-mail for price list. Looking for 1970 Topps Supers in PSA 9 too.
Petro = 8
Petrocelli 9
Kaline=5
Rico=6
Al --7 and Rico -- 8
Both are PSA 7 NQ
(Where's my prize???)

Sets - 1970, 1971 and 1972
Always looking for 1972 O-PEE-CHEE Baseball in PSA 9 or 10!

Petrocelli = 4 in an 8 holder, absolutely the dog of your collection, I will be kind and take it off your hands for $25.

petrocelli - 7
(I think the point is to say the petro was
Under graded, using the Higher graded
kaline card that is not as nice...)

Best Guess,
Kaline-- 8
Petrocelli-- 7
Should be
Kaline-- 6 or 7 (at best)
Petrocelli-- 7PD or maybe 8PD

Petrocelli - 9.5
IMHO the Kaline today is a 7... though it would probably be an 8 if the card had white borders. My guess for the grade on the holder, however, is that it is a "9 NQ" with a serial number starting with a 0... It looks like the edges have been beat up by the holder stops.
If the discoloration on the Petrocelli around his name is simply jpeg artifacts, I'd guess that card at an "8 NQ".
Again, hard to tell from the scans... and we have also yet to see the backs.

Kaline a 7 having a line across the bottom right corner for thats what psa told me on
alot of my razor 7's from vintage.
Petrocelli a 9 (nice card)
I couldn't get the entire scan on the Petrocelli, but the cut-out picture looks like it's slightly askew, which might account for a bump down on the grading scale.
Either way, IMO these are two very nice cards. I'd like to own either.
Thanks for the offer but I just couldn't bring myself to take advantage of you like that...
Petrocelli 6
The Petrocelli seems to have a white nick in the edge along the middle of the left side of the card -- I think probably many might overlook this in assessing the grade.
I'll also say that it is pretty tough to make a call on the corners because of the scan. They look sharp and like they come to a point -- but I cannot tell for sure.
Thanks to all who have taken the time to respond. I've enjoyed reading everyone's comments.
Here's a couple hints I should have included with the original post:
- Cards were graded without qualifiers.
- IMHO, the backside of the cards are clean and well-centered and do not have an adverse impact on the
grade assigned to the card.
I'll post a scan with the card grades later today.

Come on we want grades
I think the cards are very high end. I believe the Petrocelli is equal to the Kaline. It seems like everyone has the opinion that the Kaline card looks chipped or has print defects. That Kaline is extremely nice. I wish I had that one in my set.
Your friend,

Petrocelli- 8
Obviously Steve has some reason to doubt the grades he did receive, so I wouldn't be at all surprised if they both came out as 6's.
For those of you with inquiring minds that want to know...
BigKidatHeart, I agree with you. The Petrocelli appears to be under-graded compared to the Kaline...might be time to crack that one out and give murcerfan a better look at it...congratulations to jimrupprecht who came closest to correctly making the call on these cards.
You Made the Call.
Ok, back now. I personally don't collect many cards with dark borders, and don't own a single graded, black-bordered card, but have seen too many at shows with chipped borders in 8, 9 or 10 holders. I always suspected that the little bit of movement a card has inside a holder could cause some chipping, and brucemo seems to have tested and confirmed this on his web site. I am a bit surprised to see the 9xxxxxxxx serial number, however. The fact that the chipping, save one possible fleck in the lower left corner, was all between the stops is what made me suspect this.
IMHO, the quality of the scan makes discriminating between 8 and 9 on the other card almost impossible. Regardless, it is a nice card.

If I had picked up the Jabo, I probably wouldn't be able to afford the $25 I offered for the Petrocelli! HAHA! I have been doing well of late on the set and am now scraping together funds to go after the Groth, unfortunately I know I will but heads with another guy, but hopefully can prevail.
seinbigd -
I am here to help! Nice card though, I love those early 70s pictures of Rico with the sideburns, thanks for the pictures.

Does the kaline have a line across the bottom right corner or is it just a small chip on the bottom
right border.
Only qualification being that my grading accuracy improves two or threefold if I can actually see and handle the card in person. Though the scans were very helpful in this matter -- there are often, including in this case, aspects of the card that cannot be objectively quantified only through a scan.
here here, for this was not a test.

Somehow, I have a feeling that you've got it backwards.
JEB.
that looks to be a small chip and not a line across the card.
Great post!
