I recently sent these three cards for PSA crossover. I am only hoping to get similar grades. Do you think they deserve it?

1955 Topps Double Header Williams...asked for NQ just hoping for a 7

1962 Topps Joe Torre rookie....Do you think this will maintain an 8.5?

1959 Topps Ashburn...near flawless centering but will the corners take it down from an 8? Not the best scan...but...

Thanks everyone. I'll let you know how they come back.

    Nice Torre...good luck on the x-over.

    I think you are right on the Ashburn...PSA 7.

    The 3 cards are pretty good candidates for crossover. I think you may hit 2 out of 3. Ashburn I'm not so sure, but it's hard to tell from the scan.

    The Williams and Ashburn look like they could receive the same grade; but I think PSA will be tougher on the Torre. Best of luck and look forward to hearing about the results.

    Grades came back tonight.

    1955 DH Williams...Not Graded. Did not know that PSA does not grade unperforated 55 Double Headers. Learn something new every day.

    1959 Ashburn...did not meet the minimum. The corners did me in.

    1962 Torre...crossed to an 8.5. BOOOYYAAAHHH!!! Super tough card in 8.5 or higher. Just 13 out there (3-8.5's, 9-9's, 1 -10)

    Not disappointed. The Torre made it very nice.

    It's a shame when we are cheering for an even cross!! I would hope that the standards and the grades would be equivalent from one grading company to the next. Instead, it winds up being a pissing contest and the crossovers usually get downgraded a full grade from one company to another.
