1962 Topps FB - What would these grade?

bowlarama

I just purchased an interesting set of 1962 Topps FB. Virtually all the cards were apparently taped to an album. There is no sticky residue or paper loss on the cards, however there is discoloration present at the top of each card where the scotch tape was present.

I am asking the help of the PSA veteran members to view the attached samples and tell me what you think they would grade (if at all)

Thanks in advance,

Chuck

You will get grade plus a negative qualifier

Do you mean an ST qualifier?

Yes, it will most likely be a "ST". I would grade the star players or otherwise higher grade cards. Even a common player from this set that grades a 6 or 7 with a stain qualifier is a fairly desirable card. The stains on the cards shown do not detract that much from appearance. The Gifford looks especially nice.
