1955 Topps All American Grading Question...To Qualify or Not??

I have a situation where I have had approx. 80 out of a 100 cards graded on my 1955 Topps All American Football set.
The majority of the set has been graded PSA 7's and 8's No Qualifier's.
I do have maybe half a dozen cards that do have qualifier's and they are all 8OC.
Now I am down to my last 20 cards and I would say that the majority of them would be graded as PSA 8OC or if I asked for no qualifier's, most likely they would all come back straight PSA 6's.
So my question to you guy's is:
Since 80% of my set is PSA 7's & 8's NQ's would I be better just to take the qualifier's on the last 20 or so cards keeping my set virtually all 7's & 8's.....although it would be approx. 25% Qualifier's.
Or should I take the straight 6's, and keep the complete set virtually qualifier free??
Hope to hear from Skin's fan and a couple other's of you out there.
Many thanks for your take, I certainly appreciate it!!

  • Kirk i would go with no quilifiers.You may get lucky and some get sevens rather then going down to sixes lot of wiggle room in centering for a seven if the eye appeal is good.Plus for resell reasons just the letters oc can turn people off and they dont even look.Either way congrats on the set it is by far the best vintage football set out there im my humble opinion.
  • Is there a place one can state on the submission form that I do not want a qualifier and rather a straight grade? Thanks!

    Skinsfan......ask and you shall receive.
    Thanks a lot for the post and your thoughts.
    I really appreciate it.
    Any chance of me getting your email address, as I have a few more questions re. the 55 Topps AA issue and I know you are one of the heavy's in it??
    You can email me at robinson209@comcast.net if you are so inclined.
    Thanks again.

    Cardcrazy,
    There is no place on the PSA submission form specifically to request No Qualifier's that I know about.
    I just write: NO QUALIFIER'S PLEASE in large letters side ways in the MIN. GRADE (Crossover Only) column, and that seems to do the trick for me.
    Maybe, someone else has a better method??

  • Mojo-

    Thats the method I use. I believe in making it absolutely unmistakeable about what my desires are.
