1967 Topps Pin Ups

handyman

This is a tough issue and I have never found one in decent enough shape to even think about grading. I found a handful of them that dont have any tears or even the pin hole tear in the center. I have never sent in any of these for grading so I wanted to ask for an extra eye on them. Here are the best 8 pictured
What do yall think they might grade? Also Do the folds go againts the grade? And are these available without the folds if so how did they come in the hobby? These were from cellos(folded).
The mays seems to be the nicest to me.

The Mays does seem to be the best of the group. But, they all seem to be badly cut. It looks like they may have been trimmed or something. Look at the Santo. The left border looks pretty close to even but the right side has a wide upper right border and a smaller lower right border. I wil try to post a scan of a few I have to compare.

I don't beleive the folds go against the grade because they were factory folded. I do not know if they were available unfolded. i would only grade the Mays and see what happens. Best of Luck.

I would talk to jeff8877 about these. He's the man when it comes to this set. He has submitted many of these on his own I believe and currently has the number one registry set. Hopefully he can help me finish mine and get me to number 2.

handyman,

I am with the others as the Mays is the only one that I would grade. Hold up to the light and look at front and back for any type of wrinkle, corner bend etc. They are extremely tough on these even though they are thin paper. The natural folds from fitting inside the packs are not counted against the grade.

Good Luck

Jeff
