Early 3000th post Guess the Grade Giveaway/Contest

As much as I post here I figured I would be at about 3000 posts by the time this sub pops. Not shipping until Monday. I am waiting to see if a few local folks are going to piggy back.
Anyway, guess the grades on the following cards. Each has it's own little story to go with it so please indulge me. Most of the cards are already in penny sleeves and CS1's but I tried to crop them down and adjust the light as much as possible to give a clear scan. I also left the photos large to help with judging grade.
Winner will get a collection of stuff of whatever he/she collects and maybe a revealing picture of my wife just so I can prove once and for all that my wife is hotter than Matt's.
#1
2007 Topps Finest Adrian Peterson. Currently in BCCG 10 holder (for a few more minutes). Part of prize from contest by Morgoth (I think).
#2
1989 Fleer Bill Ripken Black Scribble variation. Best of 4 just pulled from rack case a few hours ago.
#3
1988 Score Rookie/Traded Glossy Mark Grace. From full set from garage sale stuff. Also sending in all the other rookies (Roberto Alomar PSA 10 pop of 0)
#4
1984 Donruss Ozzie Smith. Bought from my flea market buddy along with a few others. Better condition, IMO, than the Reggie Jackson bought at the same time that was just graded a 9.
#5
1983 Donruss Wade Boggs rookie. Just pulled from full BBCE box a few hours ago.
#6
1972 Tony Oliva. Another one of Brett's "downgrades". Last one of his "downgrades" I sent in was just graded a 9.
#7
Last one. The same 1977 OPC Pete Rose that was pulled directly from pack in previous BBCE group break. The card on top of Rose was graded a 9 and the Rose had better centering. However, the Rose came back EOT and is now getting resubbed.

lol, I hope it doesn't, but that left edge is in such contrast to the right, and the downward turn on the top left corner...I assume they'll say the same again.
BTW, thanks for the 99 Topps box. I guess you saw the Arod HR Heroes insert was a 10.

Don,
Your son has the coolest tricycle I've ever seen.
<< <i>lol, I hope it doesn't, but that left edge is in such contrast to the right, and the downward turn on the top left corner...I assume they'll say the same again. >>
I think that is why it got the EOT. The left edge looks clean like a Topps card but the right edge looks like a typical OPC card. I guess they couldn't believe OPC actually card a card smooth on one side.

<< <i>Did you pick a winner for your all time LSU players? >>
Not really. Every answer was opinionated. To answer the last question, Tony Moss used to work for me. 1990 NFL draft #89 by the Bears. Actually can't believe he was drafted that high. He is like 5 foot nothing. He now works for KCS.
Ross- Thanks, if i could only get him to use the peddles. He rides it like Fred Flintsone.

<< <i>Lsu- I did see that you got a 10 from the box I sent you. Is it worth anything? >>
I don't know if it has too much monetary value, but as an Arod collector, it has a lot of value at my house.
I am also happy to report that Mr Peterson has been released from his BCCG tomb and has escaped without a scratch.

I would love to see a scan once you get it back.
