Obscure Supersize Poppage

I guess they DO grade on Columbus Day. Just had my renewal submission pop yesterday. My wife wouldn't appreciate any of my commentary regarding the sub, so I guess I have to post here about it.

Figured I'd submit my supersize stuff that had been sitting around, because there is never a good special for it.

Kind of obscure stuff, results below.

Lines 1-4: Very excited to get a number grade on the 1968 American Oil Mr. and Mrs. Panels. There had previously been only one example of those graded, and it was given an Authentic. Gale Sayers items headed to the Registry Master Set. The Jim Grabowski items to my mythical 1960's Green Bay Packers Master PSA set.

Line 5: Got a couple of intact 1971 Dell Magazines with the inserts. I was mainly interested in the Gale Sayers card, but I saw there was a George Blanda/Joe Namath PSA 10 listed for an exorbitant amount on eBay - Namath Blanda PSA 10 That item was the only one previously graded. Thought I'd try my luck. Perplexed why they all got 6's. Centered with perfect corners. Grader must have been focused on print issues. Nearly all of the photos throughout the insert have some type of print bleed issues. Pretty harsh in my opionion though.

Lines 6-7: The 1968 Topps football posters were fillers. Had to get 15 supersize items. Thought the Hayes would get 7-8, but it is very hard to get above a 6 on large, thin paper items. Tarkenton had some red ink bleed, probably appropriate.

Lines 8-11: Milwaukee Braves Jay Publishing photos. Got these as a group at a reasonable price on eBay. Nice condition. Happy with the grades. Uecker is highest graded with Pop 2, headed to his respective Master Set. Spahn is highest graded, Pop 1.
