What would these grade?

While I prefer graded Willies for my collection, I came across these the other day. What do the experts think they'd grade?

    I'm certainly not an expert but my guess would be 6, 5 respectively based on what I can see. Are you sending them in? Good luck!

    67 - PSA 6

    The 59 would be 5OC, depends if you ask for NQ, then a 4.

    No expert though.

    The centering on the '67 is good enough to bring a 7(34x66). I think this card has a shot at a 7 but I would be happy with a 6. The centering on the '59 is not as bad as it looks (25/75). A 5 NQ is possible assuming no paper wrinkles or other defects not noticible on the scan, but most likely a 4.

    So I would say 7 and 5 best case. Most likely 6 and 4 in my humble "non-expert" opinion.

    If you send them in let us know the results.

    I love the Mays catch card -

    67 Mays is probably a 6, the corners look a bit soft, and the centering seems like a 6.

    59 Mays could be a 5 - but don't be suprised at a grade or two lower.

    I agree with the 6 and 5 also.

    Here's a gnarly 67 PSA 5 on Ebay -

    6, 5 from me too.

    You have an outside chance at a 7-5. I have seen plenty of cards that look like that 67 in 7 holders, but I have seen a ton in 6 holders as well. The scan doesn't quite show the strength of the corners and I feel that that will be the deciding factor between the 6 or 7.

    The Mays catch card looks to be a solid 4.

    I will also throw in the obligatory "I am no expert" though!

    A grade of 6, and on the catch 4/5

    7 O/C or a 6 (could go either way) on the first one and a 5 on the second one. What do I win ? image

The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. Our childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."

    6, 4 imo...

    Thanks, guys. These aren't mine...they're from a dealer's website and I'm trying to see if they were good deals. The 59 is $22 and the 67 is $37.50. I've got some money I need to spend before it goes to groceries or the electric bill. (boring!)

    That 59 catch card has a skewed cut.
  • shambo2000shambo2000 Posts: 322
    I would say if the cards grade 7 - 5 your slightly ahead considering grading fees. If they go 6 - 5 probably break even. 6 - 4 and you probably over paid a little.

    The last PSA 7 1967 Mays went for $77.70 on the bay. Last PSA 6 went for $56.

    I believe in England this has an entirely different meaning....

    BTW - I'll join the chorus of 6/5 - hard to tell from a scan though.
