    Thought pinholes got 1s, have 2 t3s and both are 3-4 quality except for pinholes, both 1s.

    Pin holes = PSA 1

    Cards that present like 5's and up that are 2's, might have a crease/wrinkle that was spooned out.


    I have a 49 Jackie Robinson in a 2 like that.

    I don't get my cards graded and I don't really collect them that way either so I have no idea what anyone looks for when grading but my eyes found the following almost immediately.

    1960

    Right by the M in Mantle on the 1960 looks like a crease to me.

    If you look at the front on the 61 you can see another possible crease that crosses over his hand.

    I agree there are creases visible but usually that means a 5.

    << <i>I agree there are creases visible but usually that means a 5. >>



    If everything else is in the 8 or 9 category. The centering on the 60 is way off and you really cannot see the edges and corners that well or the surface of the card either in the photos

    Thanks for the help guys. Im learning this grading system. They just seem to have great eye appeal and seemed worth the price.

    That is not a crease on the '60, it's a tear in the card.

    I would be very mad about those grades. You should send them to me. image

    Both cards look to have closed tears.

    The 1961 (front) on the left side edge about 1/4" above hands....... matches up on back on right side near the words "4 Times"

    Barfvader pointed it out on the 1960
