Mike Schmidt 1986 Topps Contest: GUESS THE GRADE

Hello all:
We have all been discussing the relative strengths/weaknesses of the nuance of the 1986 Topps set, and just how difficult it is to put together in top grade. That being said - you may recall that I had some modest success with my last 1986 Topps submission.
Pictured below are six 1986 Topps #200 Mike Schmidt cards, all PSA-graded. Four of them are PSA 9 (including the original one that I traded for from Neal Kane, superstar). One is a PSA 8 NM/MT card, and one is a PSA 10 GEM MINT card. I am only showing scans of the front - as nothing on the backs of any of the cards affect the grade, in my opinion.
The odds of blind-guessing this correctly are 1 in 30 - so I am cutting off this contest as of Noon tomorrow -where, hopefully, I will post the results (may have to wait until Monday...). Winner will receive one 1986 Topps Mike Schmidt PSA 8 card and one 1989 Topps Stickercard Mike Schmidt PSA 8. Only one guess per person.
Please list your answers as follows: From left-to-right, from top scan to bottom scan.
Good luck!!!

Goodriddance: There are actually six cards scanned - make sure to scroll to the right. Also, for clarification: four of the cards are PSA 9, one is a PSA 8 and one is a PSA 10

Here we go:
Top- Left => PSA 8
Top- Middle => PSA 9
Top- Right => PSA 9
Bottom- Left => PSA 9
Bottom- Middle => PSA 9
Bottom- Right => PSA 10
For me the PSA 10 was a toss-up between Bottom- Left and Bottom- Right, I liked Bottom - Rights centering and surface color the best.

left to right centering must be a problem with this card.

At least 2 of the cards look like they could be PSA 10s, though.
