Should I submit these? 1981 Golf

mknez

What do you guys think? Should these go in with my January special sub?
These are the best from my packs from last years group rip.






Thanks,
Mike

I wouldn't submit any of those until I get mine back from PSA and sold on eBay. After that, I would say yes to Jacobsen and the Floyd. The Trwvino is only a 9 at best which makes it almost worthless. The Gilder is probably a 10 but you couldn't get more than $15 for it on eBay. If they are for a registry set, I would sub them all.

I think the Floyd is centered worse/same as Travino... I like the bottom two though...

Right on. Cards with that centering are never graded a 10 by PSA.

Poobotts my man, I am overly familiar with 81 Donruss Golf and I know that they are typically OC and PSA gives a little leeway for centering on this set. I don't need a link. My underlying point was that a PSA 9 is worthless so your only looking for PSA 10's. To improve your chances of getting a PSA 10, 55/45 centering or better would be much safer than risking submitting a card that is 60/40. Have a good night and happy collecting.

Wow. So the chances that a well centered card will end up in a PSA 10 holder are superior to the chances that an off centered card will end up in a PSA holder?

Does the same hold true for corners? That is, will a card with four sharp corners end up in a PSA 10 holder more often than a card with three sharp corners?

Nice cards

Ummmm, YES. Feel free to read PSA's grading standards regarding "eye appeal". Have a nice night and happy collecting.

I really hate the "eye appeal" thing. Thats what causes some of the goofy unexplained grades that PSA has.

Instead of beauty is in the eye of the beholder, its PSA 10's are in the eye of he who holders.

I would only grade the Peter Jacobsen and the Bob Gider.

Same here.

Honestly I wouldn't grade any. I mean what's the market for a PSA 10 Bob Gilder? That's if you get a 10, there's a print dot right below his head. I don't mean to be negative but it just doesn't seem to make sense if the idea is to sell it for a profit.

Basically what I said earlier but no one listened. The Gilder in a 10 holder only sells for about $15. After eBay, Paypal and shipping fees, you make about a buck or two. That is assuming it grades a 10. A PSA 9 is best used as a coaster.

Thanks for the feedback guys. You have confirmed my initial thoughts.

I graded a Floyd a few years back and got the 2nd 10 ever. It sold for $1,025.

mknez

For what it's worth, I ended up subbing the Jacobsen. I am now the proud owner of the 80th PSA 1981 Donruss Golf #26 in existence!

Woo-wooo

The 80th what? 9, 10, raspberry, spare tire, etc......

mknez

oops, the 80th PSA 8.

woo woo

mknez

I'll gladly trade it for a spare tire

lsutigers1973

I'll trade you for a PSA 8 Ben Crenshaw. I have 3 you can choose from.

BTW, that was a serious offer.
