Inspired by Mickey71's bump thread. Are any of these bump worthy?

I have not been able to figure out what PSA looks for when they assign .5pt grades on cards at the lower end of the grading scale, grades 1-4. I have seen some that look like no brainer .5pt grades and I have seen some .5pt grades that leave me scratching my head. It makes me wonder if any of these would pull a .5pt bump. Do you think any of these are worthy?

T206 Cy Young Portrait - No creases or wrinkles, perfect focus and great color saturation. Cons: Just a little too much corner wear for a 5. Centering is good but not 50/50.


M116 Christy Mathewson - Pros: Near mint corners, no creases or wrinkles, very nice color and focus. Cons: Slight tilt, small indentation on right border but is barely noticable. SGC says reason for the 4 is due to a very small amount of scrapbook residue on the back that is barely visible. Highest grade a card can get with this from SGC is a 4.


M116 Ty Cobb - Pros: Ex+ corners, perfect centering, nice color and focus. Cons: Small area of chipping on the bottom border and a very light crease/wrinkle that can only be seen when you tilt the card against a light source.


T205 Cobb - Cons: Upper left hand corner and small print spot on Ty's lip. Pro's: No creases or wrinkles, perfect centering, no chipping at all along the edges just at the corners, color and focus right on.

I could see the Cobb Green Portrait in a PSA 4.5 holder. Thats a very nice card. The others, I think are properly graded. I would not crack that Mathewson sporting life card in hopes of the same grade from PSA. I dont think it will cross, with the indentation. I also think the card looks a hell of alot better in that SGC holder than it would in a PSA holder. Great set of card your have! Thanks very much for sharing.

Neither has PSA.
