    ouch, look like solid 7s to me. You better get the ol' loupe out and do some checking.

    Look like 6's maybe even 7's to me.

    wow, they look close to "7s" to me ... I also say check 'em out again with a loupe ... if you can't see any wrinkles, then you are going to have to play the game.

    Just goes to show that there are some 5's with better eye appeal than a lot of higher grades. I have a few 5s from a sub, that I thought I had borderline 10s before I sent them in. I haven't cracked them out to try and find the wrinkles yet.

    I remember reading a post on here recently from someone who resubbed an 8, then got 5, 5, 5 before getting another 8... you can always try that resub game.

    I'm not sure if you use a loupe, but they can find some pretty major stuff not noticeable with the naked eye. I just started using one and have been shocked at what I've seen.

    Maybe the problem is with the backs. The fronts look great.

    Everyone's trying to not make you feel bad. ----- 3 of the 4 look like sure "8"s not 6s and 7s. Must be a wrinkle or something.

    Probably the old back wrinkle. Everyone gets em from time to time.

    Let's say there is a back wrinkle on each one. I'm of the belief that they grade back wrinkles way to harshly. Alot of times 5's look rough on vintage.
