First sub by newbie -- need help with grades - PLEASE

Crazylegs

Would appreciate any help from the board on grades these would receive. Thanks.

jeffcbay

Maravich = 7 or 8
Sain = 5
Seaver = 7 (if not evidence of trimming)
Gretzky = 6 or 8(OC)
Stokes = 6
Russell = 6 or 8(OC)
Cousy = 7
Heinsohn = 6

good luck with them!

that Maravich is a blazer!!!

that one little rough edge on the bottom right keeps it from a 9.

Crazylegs

Thanks for the early opinions. Helps me a great deal.
Wondered how the rough edge will affect the Maravich.
Keep em coming.
Thanks again.

the rough edge on Pete may not affect the grade, but that ripple on the top border will.

sweet 57s.

In case you are unaware, an (OC) qualifier is generally the equivalent of two grades lower than the (OC) grade. In other words, the value of a PSA 8(OC) is around the same as a PSA 6. When subbing cards, you have the option to request No Qualifiers on your grades. In my opinion, people don't like to have qualifiers on their cards, and prefer a lower grade rather than a higher grade with a qualifier.

Those cards are in the category of absolutely need to be subbed regardless of what the grades might be. Good stuff.

Thanks for the qualifier info. How do I request that ?
Thanks again.

Just write NO QUALIFIERS anywhere on the Sub. Form or do as I do and E-Mail Customer Service when I know they are in the building and have them write it on.

The only exception for me is ST. I have cards graded with a ST qualifier where I'll be damned if I can find it sometimes.

You probably know this already, but your 1952 Johnny Sain is the more expensive Joe Page Bio error/variation.

Crazylegs

Yes, I got lucky with that one. Just was wondering how PSA would grade.
Thanks for looking.

That Russell is not a 6- the mashed lower right corner makes that a 5 at best IMHO. Still a very nice card and worth submitting.
Love the Maravich. all in all avery nice batch of cards and all well worth submitting. Good luck.

Crazylegs

Thanks to everyone for the input.
Can all of these go in the free sub ?
How do you decide on a declared value ?
Thanks again.

jradke4

the pete is a tall boy so that can go in with the same sub. it has to be its own sub. but call psa first. explain that its your membership sub maybe they will let it go but i doubt it.

declared value is for the price of the card if lost in shipping or damaged. its a replacement value type thing. so put on it what you would like the value truely is.

Very sweet cards regardless of the grades! Pistol Pete sure looks like he was roided up, eh? 6'5", 197, you don't just get that way naturally.

Crazylegs

nam - You win so far. I think I'll take your grades. I hope anyway.

detroitfan2 - Couldn't agree more. Poor guy couldn't even keep his socks up.
