These cards worth sending for grading? What grade?

I know little about pre war cards and bought these pretty cheap. Any thoughts on if they would be worth sending for grading and what grades they might get....No creases at all. But Cracker Jack card has pretty good stain on the back. How much does this matter? I think this is a 1914 Cracker Jack Shotten...and a 1909 American Caramel Collins.

I think the Collins would grade a 4, about a $300+ card. It's nicely centered too.
As for the Shotten, maybe a 2 at best. $50-$75 my guess.
Really great cards. I would definately grade them if they were mine.

Judging by the graininess of the images, I'd say they're both reprints. Or is it just your scanner?

I agree. The corners are too perfectly rounded as well and the back of the Shotten is too white.

I would ask the guy you bought them from that if they come back from psa unauthentic would he pay the grading fees? See how he reacts and that should give you an idea as to the authenticity of the cards.
