More Grading opinions needed 1961 Fleer BK (new cards scanned 10/19)

slum22

I started this thread earlier this week because I purchased a BVG 7.5 Bob Boozer and I wanted to get opinions if people thought it had a chance to cross to a PSA 7. I am working on a PSA 7 or better set and it is one of the last 5 cards I need. Well, I now have the card in hand. So I wanted to post scans of it in the holder so people could see it compared to the cropped photo I used earlier in the week. Sorry my scanner is not the best so there is a little reflection in the scan due to the thickness of the BVG holder. Below is the original cropped photo as well as the new scans (front and back) of the card in the holder. I still need to measure, but based on holding the card and just having looked at many cards in this set it looks like it will meet minimum size requirement.

I also want opinions on whether people think I am better off cracking and submitting or asking for a review.




I also purchased a lot of 4 1961 Fleer cards raw including another Boozer! This one is pretty sharp as well for a raw eBay find. I would like some opinions on this one and whether this has a better shot at a 7 or the first. I think it would have a great chance but I am concerned about the spot on the card to the left of his cheek. It may show up in the scan as a small black dot. I don't know what it is but it forms a small bump on the card. I don't know how harshly PSA would knock the card for that surface issue. Any thoughts?


In addition to the Boozer, there were these three cards as well in the lot. Decent centering on all. I am going to submit everything in this post. Any guesses on grades for these?




Thanks for looking and thanks for your opinions!

looks close! But it also looks pretty short. PSA doesn't usually NG those because the cutting is all over the place on that set but it's pretty close.

I saw this and was thinking of buying it. I hope for a 7 but given what I believe is the discrepancy between large and small (see pm) I would bet it comes back a 6

Good luck

It is close. More than likely a 6, but it has a shot.

I am more optimistic. I'd say around a 75 percent chance of a 7. I don't see what would knock it down to a 6.

If it grades it could be a 7.

More than likely it's getting the mini size rq designation for the top to bottom shortness.
I would measure it before sending in. If it's up 3/32" short, it's too small to get a number grade.

Nice looking card nonetheless.

Bump for the new cards. Sorry for the size of the pictures.

I would send the Boozer in the holder requesting a 7.

I think you have a shot at a 7 on all of them, the Lovelette looks better. The centering on the Dukes IA is fantastic but the corners might keep it in a 6 or 6.5.
