1981 topps baseball grade opinion.... again.

cjaccardi

Hey pulled some more of my 81s and wanted to see if any of these stand a chance of 9 or 10s

Raulsmaster

Maybe 2 or 3 tens if you're lucky

which ones and why ?

and what was your experience when you sub 81s ? how many did you submit and what grades did you get ? can you show some examples ?

EagleEyeKid

They're all 11s. Simply breathetaking.

<< <i>They're all 11s. Simply breathetaking. >>



?? please no harrassing or trolling posts

ldferg

imo, the potential 10s are:

angels team card
McLaughlin
claudell
tigers team card
bevacqua (assuming whatever is on the scan is from the holder, not the card)
berra
bombo
cey (borderline)
ivie
oliver
rangers future stars
fryman

good luck and let us know the results.

cjaccardi

Thank you sir I shall I like to get opinions before I waste my money

Anyone of the ones that have a thin boarder on the bottom are not worth submitting.

Buddy Bell (last card) is the only one large enough to really venture a guess in my opinion. I say a 9 but a 10 could happen.

None of the cards centered toward the bottom are going to be 10's.

Choose your 5-10 best and post large scans, simply too hard to see for me.

If you are spending $20k on collections as you say your are and have no clue about grading, you have already wasted $20k.

cjaccardi

thanks !

Save your money and don't grade these. I am sure you have a PSA 10 in the lot but you are going to spend a ton of money on grading for a $7 card. Pick all of those card up off your scanner and put them in a nice Card Saver I. Then get on Ebay and spend $9 to buy a PSA 10 from 1981 Topps.

I will give you one little tidbit of knowledge from the 81 Topps set.

Quite a few of the cards you posted are from sheet C. A significant portion of the low pop PSA 10 cards from this set come from sheet C including the Reggie Jackson. Since you insist on mentioning the value of commons, Oberfkell was a zero pop PSA 10 for a long time and happens to be from sheet C. Top to bottom centering is almost always the issue. The only other big low or zero pop PSA 10 cards from this set that are worth searching for (Gibson and Valenzuela) are not from sheet C.
