Thoughts on grading packs (1981 Topps BB) with off center stars on the bottom

jrboles

I tore into a 1981 Topps Cello box today retaining 3 packs that showed stars on the bottom:

- Rickey Henderson - the back is off center with very little border showing on the bottom
- Reggie Jackson - centering and all else looks good
- Kirk Gibson - looks fine

With the investment I am making in the recent group rip - 1973 BB, 1978 BB, 1977 hockey, etc. - I am going to get a number of the packs purchased graded with PSA. At $14 a pop, does an off center Henderson or a Kirk Gibson rookie warrant the grading?

Any packs I grade are strictly for investment purposes so I am just gauging opinion. Is anyone moved to obtain a PSA 8.5 1981 Topps Cello pack with Reggie Jackson on the bottom?

Some call me the gangster of love. Thanks for the consideration.

For 81's, I would only grade them if the stars were on top and nicely centered. 1979 is usually the latest year I would submit a pack for grading with a star on back and usually just for one of the bigs like Ryan. Still, those are nice packs to keep raw in the box as it will help it sell in the future if need be.
