What will this grade?

GreenHead

Sorry if you guys consider stuff like this spam. I am getting ready to send in my first bunch of cards to get graded. I have gone through them aver and over looking for the best. What do you guys think this will grade? Is it close to an 8? I am very new to this so please be gentle. and if you all dont mind, I may put up a few more to have you look at.

Sorry to disappoint but PSA is usually consistant on grading and vintage cards are scrutinzied nearly as hard as modern. From what I can tell in the scans, there are three soft corners making this a PSA 6 at best. My humble opinion.

Great eye appeal and centering ! ,
but I'm guessing a 6, or maybe an outside shot at a 7 because of the corners.
Unfortunately, it's one of those cards that looks great, but doesn't have sharp corners.

I have an entire graded 55 set. I would say that is a PSA 6 also, not being able to feel the card(surface wear, etc), it could be a 5. It has to be really really sharp to get a 7 or 8 now days. You have pretty good centering and coloring so that will help. I bet on a 6 also.

Hope for a 7, be happy with a 6 and don't be too bummed if it's a 5.

Well if that is not a disheartening education. I thought for sure it would be a 7. Maybe I will not be making a submission on second thought. Thanks for you input so far though guys. I really need to hear it so that I can learn. Appreciate the honesty. Whats a PSA 6 Grange sell for anyway? There are none on ebay to cross reference.

Greenhead, From my experience if it looks like a 9 or 10 it is probably an 8. In this case if it looks like an 8 it is probably a 6 or 7.

Grange PSA 6 would probably sell for $150-175 on ebay.

Grange is worth submitting in PSA 6 condition (which I too think this one is).
