I just sent off the following cards for review. I have had these since the late 90s and they all are bump worthy.
1986 fleer #57 Michael Jordan. PSA 8. I think this could cross to a 9. Almost perfect centering. I have 9s that aren't as nice.
1961 Fleer Jerry West psa 7 half point bump hopefully
1961 fleer Oscar Robertson 7 close call
1980 Bird/Magic Rookie psa 8 half point bump hopefully

I used my 6 free submissions for the following reviews
1987 fleer Michael Jordan Psa 9 probably stays the same
1986 Fleer Olajuwan. Psa 9. I pulled this from a pack in about 1997. Packs were $100 back then.
1986 Fleer Checklist Psa 9
1961 Fleer Elgin Baylor Psa 7
1986 Dominique Wilkins Psa 8. Should be 8.5
1986 Charles Barkley Psa 9
Hoping for 1 10 out of the 86 fleers.
I will keep you posted. I'm really hoping for a full grade jump on the 86 Jordan. Does that happen often?

    Good luck! You have one of the coolest avatars I've ever seen on this site. Is that part of your collection??

    Thanks. No I copied someone else's. Hope that is ok with that other person.

    Keep us informed. Reviews are tough.

    With fees and shipping I have $200 in this. One or two bumps will pay for it.

    The Jordan was bought in 1998 already graded. I searched for months for the best Jordan I could find. If it doesn't bump to an 8.5 then something is wrong. I have 8.5s and 9s of other 86 fleer cards that aren't as nice.

    full grade bumps happen all the time. Heck we've seen 3 grade swings on this board
    It never leaves you...

    Do you have scans of the cards? With my subs I have found that for 86 Fleer basketball the primary difference between 9s with sharp corners and 10s is chipping in the blue borders. Any chipping especially with a star card and you will get a 9 most of the time.
    Good luck with your reviews.

    I would be interested in any of these, bump or not. Do you plan to sell or trade any?
    I am buying and trading for RC's of Wilt Chamberlain, George Mikan, Bill Russell, Oscar Robertson, Jerry West, and Bob Cousy!
    Don't waste your time and fees listing on ebay before getting in touch me by PM or at gregmo32@aol.com !

    Well Results are in. I got one bump out of the 4 and it was on the Jordan 1986 Fleer. It bumped to an 8.5 from an 8. I'm happy about that but I thought it had a chance at a 9.
