(UPDATED With 9 New Cards) Are these 86-87 Fleers worth subing in the group sub?

I have several sets and partial sets of 86-87 Fleer I have pieced together from many different sources. Some are EX and some are nice cards that came from unsearched lots and other finds here and there. I looked through 143 total cards of cards #1-20 and picked these six. I know the Birds both have a small print dot, but I was surprised they were nice all around.
If anyone has adivce on grading 86-87 Fleer, please chime in.
So what do you guys think? Sub these and keep going through my hoard or just keep them raw?

Agreed, I would only sub the Birds, the other cards are $10 cards in PSA 9.

I agree. I don't see anything less than an 8 there unless of course something is hidden

Thanks for pointing out what already pointed out in my original post.
If I had to guess I would say only the Chambers and Carroll might get 9s. You won't get your grading fees back for PSA 8 86-87 Fleer commons. Lee is pretty good at spotting 86 Fleer cards that aren't worth subbing. I would suggest asking him.
I try to sub 86-87 Fleer cards that I feel are definite 9s. For the HOFers I will consider subbing 8s but they have to have an outside shot at a 9 for me. The one 86 Fleer card I can't seem to pre-grade is Larry Nance, I have subbed three from my group rips and gotten two 7s and an 8.5. Otherwise I think I am at about 66% for 9s & 10s with 86 Fleer grading.
I would keep going through your hoard. Look for 4 perfect corners and then check the centering.

Also unless you need to want to sell them, why not put them in a set in 9 pocket sheets. They'll look great there and you can always grade them down the road if you need or want to.
I know this is a PSA mess. board, but I would consider trying BGS for some of your better cards too. If you get all 9 subs, they sell for more in BGS 9 typically then a PSA 9 grade. Something to consider.

I never actually read anything you post.
But seriously, definitely sub the Cooper and Chambers because they both have a shot at 10s. I'd also submit both Bird's because they have a shot at 9 and even if they end up as 8s you break about even. Bagley and Carroll are 9s at best and not worth submitting because they don't sell all that well as 9s. You're basically looking at submitting cards that are either have a shot at 10, are jackpot cards in 9 (only a couple in the set), or you will break even if they get their lowest potential grade (like the Bird's).
Thanks,
