Mantle, Maris, Ruth & Gehrig (1962) - what would they grade?

Bosox1976

What do you think?

Ruth seems 7-ish to me, I ask about the Maris because I think it may bump to a 6, I think Mantle is a 7 (not an 8). Am particularly interested in the Maris as I just lost out on a PSA 6 for $190+. I've got my CC Free submissions and don't want to waste one on Maris unless chances are better than 50/50 on a 6. Thanks.




Here's a better one on Maris - obviously bottom Right corner is the issue - is it too rounded for a 6?

I don't think you'll get the bump to a 6, I'd even be willing to have a Yankee/RedSox sigline bet over it. Even though, overall it's got great eye appeal. The Ruth is a beaut, I'd def get that graded.

I'd like a few more opinions before I make that sig line bet.

Maybe a picture of Varitek punching ARod vs. a picture of Mickey Rivers beating Bill Lee?

I think it has a shot at 6 depending on if the corners have little flaps and not just wear.

7, 6, 7. Go for it.

It's all in good fun, my best friend is a Sox fan. I hook him up with all Red Sox cards I get, since well my house doesn't have a fireplace.

I'm likin' the Maris for a 6 now! In any event it won't come back less than a 5 so I'd say go for it.

I would say you have around a 50/50 chance of a bump on the Maris.

It might come down to whether or not the grader " got some " the night before grading the card
