Its hard to complain with those grades, but I really thought the Reese was an 8 at least.

I bought them from a local guy I met maybe three years ago. I tried about 18 months ago to buy his whole collection. He had an awesome 56 mantle, about 300 52 topps and just tons of other great stuff, but he was too high on price and kind of really was a little attached. I took my offer to over 8K but he did not sell to me. So this year I figured maybe I would go back and try to cherry pick and pay his price. Well he had sold the 56 mantle, for $50 less than I offered (no idea why) and the 52 topps were gone. So I sat down and bought these six plus a dandy 55 bowman berra for $380 which was about %50 nrmt book, maybe a little over. The berra would have been a 7 I think, but I sold it to this long time friend for exactly what I paid. Probably lost $100 profit or more but who cares with friends. Anyway He still has a great 55 topps group, but no Clemente. He wants like 4k for it which is too much. I mean you can buy a nice set for that with the Clemente.

Should I consider busting and resending for the .5 jumps? I think that Reese is an 8, I may bust it out anyway.

I guessed that the Reese looked a little bit better than the Campanella. But, guessed them at strong 7s (7.5 under the 'new' system), so it could've gone either way. Nice job on pulling a 7 on both the Mueller and Russell. They are nice clean cards, although I would've guessed a 6 (6.5 with the 'new') on the Mueller. Ruffing was a 4/5 tweener for me, so you did well there. The Pafko card is very nice and deserved the 8 IMO. Very good overall! Congrats!
