Help grade 52 Snider, 61 Mantle, 57 Pirates, 67 Clemente

Hoping for some extra eyes on these 4.

The Pirates team & Clemente checklist look super sharp.

The Mantle cut bothers me a bit, wondering how that would effect the grade.

What could this Snider pull?

Thanks for any and all opinions.

    I'd say:

    Mantle - 7.5, maybe an 8 on a good day due to upper right corner.
    Pirates - 7 due to upper right corner
    Clemente - 8
    Snider - 5

    Good luck getting them graded. Let us know the results.

    MICK - I think the the print defect on the black border on the left (maybe it isn't even a defect ... maybe they are all like this ... I didn't look it up) and then soft upper right corner put this in a 6.5 - 7 slab.

    TEAM CARD - real nice looking card, but the bottom left corner throws this in a "6" slab.

    CHECKLIST - From the front, the top right corner looks a bit soft, as does the bottom right corner from the back. I think this keeps it from getting slabbed higher than a "7".

    SNIDER - presents pretty well, but looks like a lot of "spider veins" running throughout the card. Solid looking "5".
    STAY HEALTHY!

    Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

    What does the mantle card measure top to bottom on the left side vs. the right side? Looks like a tilt cut left to right to me.

    I like that snider, I hope it grades well but it looks a bit fat on the upper right border as well mirrored on the bottom left border. Because it's a 52, I think they'll lean in your favor. I'd hope for a 6, but I believe it's a 5.

    On the pirates team, I think you'll grab a 7 on a good day.

    I'd be surprised if the Checklist comes back less than a 7.

    Thanks for the thoughts.
    It always helps to have an extra set of eyes or 2 to look at cards.
