48 leaf question - GRADED SCANS ADDED

stopped by a card shop today and talked to the owner about a recent purchase he made from an older lady.....i was amazed. he had around 200+ 33/34 goudey's and 100+ 48 leaf. i picked up these 2 as they appeared to be the best centered and best condition. no ruth's, but he did have a gehrig and some other HOFs. i'd say the majority of the goudeys would grade 1-3 and the leafs would grade 1-4 with centering issues. just curious as to what these might grade...your thoughts. the bow in the edge is from my scanner. personally, i've never held a 33 goudey until today....
Thanks,

also, is the color accurate on your scan? If so, the Lindell is a color variation. Not uncommon on the regular series, and no price premium, but there are those that look for these, myself included. Below is mine in the most commonly found color
Are you in New England? Leafs seem to have been distibuted there more widely than anywhere else. Also, despite what it says on the label, they were issued in 1949, not 1948.

did those 2 set you back much?
Absolutely georgous cards. My guess, a minimum 5 with a possibility of higher, assuming they aren't trimmed.
I suggest going back and cherry picking his remaining cards.

LBC, what are the short print variations?
griffins, yes the color is accurate and he had several duplicates. i am located in TN.
Allen, i have no idea what i'd pay for the box and the owner made no inclination as to what type of deal he had other than when she was leaving she said she had 2 or 3 more boxes she couldn't locate.
jmb, i picked them up for $20 each.
stown, i'd like to have them all. i may go back and take some pics to post here. i'll see if i can capture the condition.
i'm planning to send these 2 in for grading and see how they turn out. i feel these are 2 of the best condition he had. i'd say the majority of the goudey's are 1-3 and the leafs are 1-4 with centering issues.
any ideas what the low grade goudey and leafs sell for assuming no SPs or HOFs? would VCP have this information?

Half of the Leaf set are short prints- the set consists of 49 common series (yours are common series) and 49 of the rarer, short printed 2nd series. Plus 3 variations (Aberson short sleeve, Hermansk, and Peterson red cap). These 3 come from the common series but command a premium that varies- Hermansk is the most valuable by far, Aberson the least, with Peterson a bit more than Aberson.
If any are short prints they are worth it in any condition. You can go to the Leaf entry in the registry and look at "set composition". The short prints are weighted 3 and up. The common HOFers will be weight as high or higher than that, but it's fairly easy to figure out. Doby, Kell, Newhouser, Paige, and Slaughter are the sp Hofers- Ruth, JoeD, Williams, Robinson, etc are common series.
If you need more info feel free to pm me. Congrats on digging them up!

i picked up another 48 leaf today. i still haven't received grades on the other 2 i submitted. i did check the hermanski and he had 3 and all were spelled correctly (front and back). this peterson is centered well but has some slight browning of the top edge.
thanks for helping.
