Grading opinion on these 3 cards:

I picked these up raw, and fairly cheap, and just wanted some opinions on what the expected grades could/should be. Chances are I will sub them no matter what, because I like the look of them slabbed, unless the experts tell me its an overwhelmingly waste of my money/time.



As you can see, the Kaline has rubber band lines on the back, but does not crease or show on the front - the Banks is off center badly on the back, and the Robinson has some staining or something on back.

I thank you in advance for your opinions/comments

    Banks - PSA 4 or 5
    Robinson - PSA 5.5 or 6
    Kaline - PSA 6 or 6.5. Not sure how much or how little the rubber band lines will hurt the grade.

    I'd say:

    Banks - 4 (Miscut) - So if you want it slabbed don't request 'no qualifiers'.
    Robinson - 4
    Kaline - 2 (sorry I think the rubberband lines will downgrade it to good condition.

    I would say they are not gradable. In regard to cost vs. value of the final grade.

    negative qualifiers are the mark of death. Better off w/o them

    Thanks guys for the opinions. Please feel free to continue to chime in. It's a shame about the lines on the Kaline (mostly b/c I wasn't aware of them before getting the card-but that's another story).
