Picked up two sets of 81 from the guy I ve been buying locally from .

some are oc but let me know your opinion any of these have a shot ?

The only one I might try is the Ozzie Smith. You will be sorely disappointed with the rest.

can you let me know whats wrong with the rest and why ozzie is good ? which ozzie >?

The second Ozzie Smith. All the others show a touched corner, miscut, too OC for high grade, or too much chipping. PSA is absolutely brutal on 81 Topps. I wouldnt send any of the traded in. They all look miscut.

yeah i see some have a slight corner touch

I personally have owned many 81s and I think that most your 81s you have shown are about is good as its gets.Many that year were horribly cut.

Agreed.

That is the best centered Fernando I have seen. Not saying it will PSA 9 but beats the 19 Fernandos I pulled from a case and a half by a long shot.

ldferg is spot on. 1981 is just brutal condition-wise.

I had the same experience as 1954. I now have 35 Fernando rookies just sitting
in a box that will never become part of someone's set or be graded.

It was my first, and possibly last, adventure in vending case busting.

I think the 1st Fernando is pretty good. It has only a minimal amount of the black smudge on the front that is very typical. I think that would be good ROI. I think even an 8 is worth the grading fee.

The Dawson is the only one that I believe to be Gem-worthy. But who knows. It's impossible to judge a card on a scan or photo alone.

How are the Mike Adams cards? Very tough card in nm mt which I think is the highest its ever been graded?
