Ron, cravetopps mentioned that the line by the team name on the Aaron might knock it down to a 7... correct me if I'm wrong guys, but I think that line is on ALL 61 Topps Aaron cards. At least it's on the 2 I have and others I have seen on eBay. By the way, 8 also on the Matthews.
So basically my kid won't be able to go to college, but at least I'll have a set where the three most expensive cards are of a player I despise ~ CDsNuts
I think the Mathews has no shot at an 8. One corner (lower right) just too soft to get it there. Super nice, centered 7, I think.
Everything about the Aaron is nice enough to be an 8, except for centering. Usually the PD and fisheyes on this card are on the photo, not the name or team name. If it rests in a 7 holder, it'll be one of the nicest sevens out there.
I got most of these at a card shop back in Ohio. The Aaron was purchased raw at a show.
May post one more in a bit. All except the Mathews will go in this week.
Thanks,
Ron

6 – Yaz 8 – Aaron MVP 6 – Mays (5 if that bottom edge isn’t better than your scan) 9 – Mantle (is the upper left chipped a little?) 8 (PD) - Aaron 6 – Mattews 5 - Maz bottom two corners look soft
That Mays could get slammed if it looks like your scanner shows....tough to say without a good scan.
60 Yaz 6 61 Aaron MVP 8 61 Mays 7 59 Mantle IA 8, maybe 9 (I'd love to buy that one from you!) 61 Mathews 7 (excess print) 61 Maz 6 (corner wear; it will not get a MK qualifier, almost all of them have that blue spot on the upper right border)

Might as well get this one out of the way. A bitter disappointment. I've missed surface wrinkles before, but never on a big card like this.....and I still can't see one. Get a good look at this one because I'm popping it out of the holder in about 5 minutes.

This will probably break some people's hearts, but, I have gone thru many 3200 boxes of '81 Fleers.....I threw away any card that didn't meet my standards, and I'm not done.....
Nice cards Ron. Looks like PSA was tough on the '61 Aaron's and '59 Mantle. I would resubmit the Mantle card at a show. With on site grading you might do better. It does look like a 9.
Also why is Mantle pooping out a baseball?? Maybe he's saying what he thinks of the grades you received.

I resubmitted the Aaron with the 58's that I recently got graded. It was just too nice a card to rest in a 7 holder and fortunately, PSA agreed.
The only other card I resubmitted was the '61 Aaron (regular issue) and it is at PSA now. Fingers crossed on that one. Someday I might resubmit the '59 Mantle IA because I really think it is arguably a 9.

7/8 Need to see back of card as the top right and bottom right corners are deceptive (to me).
