Posted this on the Sports & Mem forum as well...
Alright, here's my thoughts...
1 1948 BOWMAN 61 ALEX WOJCIECHOWICZ N/A 5 (About what I expected, paid $10 for it raw off ebay)
2 1951 BOWMAN 62 LOU CREEKMUR N/A 4 (Yeah, this one wasn't too nice...hoped for a 5 but a 4 isn't surprising)
3 1952 BOWMAN SMALL 99 JOE STYDAHAR N/A 5 (Thought this would be a 6, actually has great centering and good corners)
4 1952 BOWMAN SMALL 44 BABE PARILLI N/A 4 (same thing as the Creekmur)
5 1957 TOPPS 119 BART STARR N/A 7 (This is fantastic! Paid $240 raw for it a couple weeks ago but it has a print line running up the right side about 70% of the card so a 7 is unbelievable. and to think I almost bought a 7 on ebay last week, glad I bought the Unitas instead!)
6 2005 FINEST FAM14 ALEX RODRIGUEZ A-ROD MOMENTS-AUTOGRAPH 9 (thought it was a 10, that's the only reason I sent it in)
7 2002 BOWMAN CHROME 385 DAVID WRIGHT AUTOGRAPHED 9 (Expected a 9, prayed for a 10, fantastic card though.)
I'm very, very happy. The guy I got the Starr from has some unbelievable vintage, but I wanted to test the waters and make sure the Starr didn't come back trimmed or altered in anyway...Some of his stuff is that nice... Might have to give him another try and see what happens.

I don't know if I'm more excited for the Starr or to go back to that dealer and pick up a few more things.
..and yes, a vowel.
