8-ish? Sub or not? -- Grades In.

Bosox1976

These all look close to 8-ish to me, but am waffling about each for the next submission.

Which are 8's? Thanks.

orioles93

I'd send them all in. That Ozzie looks really sharp.

MrNearMint

I think it'd be worth sending all in. Good luck, let us know the results.

hyperchipper09

All of them

Dboneesq

For $5.00 or $6.00 each, I'd send 'em all in.

PSamp77

Yes, send them all in.

shagrotn77

What they said.

DetroitSquirreL

and the broken record skips....yes, send them all in. Good Luck!!!

Very nice cards Mike. If it were my sub I'd hold back Mayo Smith.

Bosox1976

Gracias men.

Opinious Interruptus.

RonBurgundy

Hi Mike,

If it were me, I'd sub the Maas, Carey, & maybe the Ryan. Hope that helps.

Best regards

jay0791

Is a 79 Ryan in an 8 worth sending in?
Most psa 8 auctions are for about 10-12 $

WalterSobchak

Of the '56s, I would say the Maas and the Carey are worth sending in.

I would also send the Ozzie in and hope for an 8. I wouldn't sub the Ryan.

Nice cards Mike.

Bosox1976

Thanks guys - it turns out that the 56's I missed on weren't the ones I was unsure of... some nice ones though:

Nice grades on the 50's-60's, the 77's are tough, I had a similar set of grades on some I sent it, 8's seem to be the norm. That's pretty quick poppage, what service level did you send them in at?

Bosox1976

It was the special pricing at the National -- two and a half weeks to log, pretty quick pop thereafter.

I thought the 77's were a little nicer - and thought the 79 commons at the end would have a few 10's. The 77 Royster is a toughie though...

GrandMasterB

Nice grades on the 56's, my favorite year! Plus a 8 total day turnaround, you had a great sub all around

Dboneesq

WTG Mike ... seems like overall you are happy with the results.

Bosox1976

Pretty happy, Doug.

Missed a few '56 clunkers, and not sure about the "trimmed" 71's, but overall pretty pleased.

My favorite is the '73 Rose - will post a scan when I get it back - three smooth edges and one really rough cut. Thought it would go anywhere from PSA 4 to 8 depending on how they treated the roughie - sent it in as sort of an experiment.

nam812

If Carey is an 8.5 (not saying it isn't), then Maas is a 9.

Very nice bunch of 56s you stumbled on Mike.

Topps29

Nice cards, Mike! Where did those 56T come from (This year's national show)? Are any for sale?

Bosox1976

Thanks guys - a nice raw lot on ebay was the source of the 56's. Looked pretty strong in the one picture that was provided.

Bosox1976

Here is that rough-cut Rose I mentioned - really thought it could go anywhere from 4 to 8. A disappointing Mays, and the best of the 56's...
