    The only one worth grading with the hope for an 8 is the Young and I don't think that's an 8.
  • I would agree that you should pass on subbing any due to centering.

    I agree on the centering I would not sub those. I try not to sub anything if I don't think it a solid 8 or better.

    I concur with everyone else who says the cards are better left raw. Your best case scenario on just about all of the cards would be an 8 and you probably have a better chance at a 7 than an 8 with all of the cards. I believe you could pick up a PSA 8 Young for under $20 these days, so even that one isn't worth the risk to sub given that it is probably a coin flip to come back a 7 or an 8. If you could somehow pull a PSA 9(OC) on the Young then that might make it worthwhile to sub, but that seems like the least likely outcome to me. To answer your original question, I believe the most likely grades on all of them are 7. The Young has a chance at a 8 or even a PSA 9(OC), I can't tell how sharp the corners and edges are on the Young. The Dent is your next best shot at an 8. Just my opinion. Good luck with whatever you decide.

    Thank you for your input ..... Here are some closer pix of the edges, also will the red print defect in the upper right corner of the Young get a qualifier?

    Anyway not sure the pics below will change anything but LMK thanks Craig

    The corners are sharp, but I just think with the centering you are looking at a 7 or 7.5 with a chance at an 8.....it isn't worth it. They grade that card and the Rice extremely tough. IMO, just better keeping/selling raw.
