81 Fleer Star stickers?

Will PSA grade them? Does anyone know? They are blue and yellow with red stars at the top. Just curious as I have 5 that look gradeable.

Yes

Okay, now are they worth anything in a 9 or 10? Don't see any on eBay that are graded.

they are tough!~ I bought a box and every card was banged up a bit. I think they would garner some $$ for player sets

They are very, very tough to get in high grade because of the centering, soft cuts, and stickers (sometimes portions of them get damaged). HOF stars do command a premium in 9. I would pay dearly for any Schmidt Star Sticker in PSA 10 grade. But they are very, very tough to get 9s and 10s on.

I just bought a set of these for $20 two weeks ago at a local small card show.
It's was probably the only 1980's Baseball set I didn't own. Tough issue indeed. Plus the length of the cuts in the set I bought varied quite a bit. I highly doubt they were trimmed. Just came out the packs this way. Wax damage to the backs affect many cards as well. I would love to see how your grades turn out on them if you send in any to psa.

I still have three unopened boxes of these at home. I cracked one box and put together a complete set. These are very condition sensitive because of print defects, varying sizes, wax stains, and very poor centering. Good luck with your submission.

Well, I was hoping PSA would extend the 72-Present special and I'd submit them, but not now looks like. Maybe someday. I'll keep the board posted if I do. Thanks for all of the info. on them guys. I don't have a Schmidt. I have Carew, Fingers, Griffey Sr., P. Niekro and Carlton.

as others have said, psa does grade them. i've sent in a dozen in the last 2 months. i yielded 1-10 (carew) out of the group, 2 - 8s and the rest 9s (with 1 being OC). they are difficult, no doubt. i've got a few more i'm planning to submit, just haven't made the time for them. are you trying to complete a graded set or raw?

That is one tough issue compadre!

As everyone has mentioned, they are off centered and soft cut all over the place. I opened a full box and got nothin' hardly to show for it.

Good luck!

I'm working on a registry set of them.

One thing to watch out for - 4SC occasionally has some, and they might be able to flood the market (I don't know how many more they have to submit).

Not trying to complete a set, I just saw these a guy had about 5 years ago. He offered me all 5 for $1 and I said what the heck. They were different and in good shape.

With all this conversation about them I thought this thread should have a photo example of the cards in question.
