Which of the these cards would you send in for grading??

I have a few 1980's cards that I am going to send in to PSA. All are centered nicely and look to have sharp corners. All came from vending or factory set. If you have to take three cards off my list which one's would you take off?

1984 Donruss Wade Boggs
1984 Donruss Joe Carter
1984 Donruss Rickey Henderson
1984 Donruss Don Mattingly
1985 Fleer Cal Ripken
1985 Fleer Roger Clemens (2)
1985 Fleer Don Mattingly
1986 Topps Tiffany Roger Clemens
1986 Topps Tiffany Nolan Ryan
1994 Fleer Update Alex Rodriguez

By the way I just opened the 1986 Topps Tiffany set a few weeks ago, 90% of the cards had dinged corners. AARRRGH !!

  • Hi Jaybrd,

    I ditch the following cards:

    1984 Donruss Joe Carter
    1985 Fleer Cal Ripken
    1984 Rickey Henderson

    I don't believe that there is enough action on these players outside of their rookie cards to warrant grading them, unless you were guaranteed of getting PSA 10's which I wouldn't count on.

    My 2cents,

    Thanks Scott

    The only reason I was thinking about the Joe Carter is the card is very well centered and it seems like I heard this card is somewhat tough to find centered.

    Grade the carter since it is a great set and one of the key rookies. Also it was once a very valueable card.

    I would ditch the '85 Fleer Mattingly and the '84 Donruss Boggs and Henderson. Carter is his rookie, and if you're grading non-rookies, Ripken takes priority over almost everybody else.

    I agree with NickM - drop the Mattingly, Henderson and Boggs. Carter is tough to find centered, I would submit the card if it is well centered.
