Help with Grades - Vintage Baseball

I haven't really submitted any cards for grading in the past 3-4 years as my collecting focus changed more to signed cards. That being said, I always pick up cards that I find in odd places (flea markets, garage sales, card shop bargain bins, etc.) that I think might be gradable. I have these few around and was curious what you guys think they would grade...

1. This has a rough cut but I don't see any corner damage and centering looks good...

2. The Williams looks better but both look great - got these for a few bucks each in a random place

3. Got this just a few days ago when a family member gave me part of their childhood collection (this was one of only a few that looked gradable at all)

4. Got this in a lot of Blazer autographs awhile back - corners look perfect to me and centering is real good...

Thanks for the opinions guys!

    What does everyone else think?

    If the Mays is a 7 at best, I'll probably put it on eBay as-is... Looking for some opinions on these to figure out what I want to do with them.

    Thanks!

    Is that a small hairline crease on the bottom right corner of the Mays?
    Ridzik-8
    Williams-7
    Fox-7
    Mays-6(if crease) 7 if not
    Drexler-8.5

    Definitely sub the Mays if it is not creased. The amount it would sell for as a 7 is more than the total of what you'd be able to get raw plus what you'd have into grading fees on the monthly special this month. Take a look at the really bad back side of the PSA 6 that sold through Probstein on August 3; the centering and corners on yours are nowhere near as bad.

    It doesn't look like a crease in hand, looks like a darker strand on the paper like a printing issue. It is there though as it looks in the photo - not sure how much that will affect it. I may decide to list it raw just as I don't feel my luck for the 7 as the corners have a bit more of a "ding" than some other 7's I've had in the past.
  • 1. 8.5 if that rough cut passes
    2. Williams 6 left edge, Fox 7 bottom right corner
    3. Mays 4.5 nice centering, too bad about the bottom right corner - that is a centering lovers dream (DM23HOF style)
    4.Drexler - 7.5 good centering but corners and bottom edge hold it down.

    The Mays looks to be a 6 to me. 7-8 range on the others. Good luck. Doug

    Nice

    In the 7 range

    Not worth grading the Drexler.

    His card is cheap in an 8
