Picked up this fresh batch of 71s that show minimal wear. Am considering grading some of them for resale and figure if I can get 7s (or better) might be worth sending in to PSA. Your thoughts on potential grades and if worth sending in? The Munson has wax stain back so I will probably not send in, and the Yaz tipped corner.

I would think you could get psa 7 money raw for them if you were to sell if that is what you are thinking they will pull.
looks like 4-5 would get 7's
I think they are a great lot of cards. Any interest in selling them please PM me...
thx

Well, not much of response. A few more. The Perry the best. Hard to pull the trigger 'cause if less than 8 I lose.

From what I can see, you're right about the minimal wear. What bothers me a lot are the edges, I can see a lot of chipping on them. Also I don't know if it's your scanner or print spots. If they're print spots,there are several cards that have a lot. I'm not sure how strict PSA would be. So I guess if you could sell them raw, that's what I would do. I know if I were to send them in for grading (and I think 71's are worth grading) they may only be 6's. It's your decision.
That Perry will not get an 8. I learned my lesson the hard way with 1971s a couple of years ago. Every other issue I've submitted I've rarely gotten sub-8 grades, but with this set, multiple corners with ANY white showing equals 6 or 7 grades. I submitted over a hundred beautiful fresh cards and only about 15% got 8s, tons of beautiful 7s.
I think it depends on what you have into them. If you paid psa 6 or 7 prices probably not worth it. If you bought them in a lot they might pay for the lot if you grade them.
T222's PSA 1 or better
Nice cards. I would send them in to Beckett or Sgc.
IT CAN'T BE A TRUE PLAYOFF UNLESS THE BIG TEN CHAMPIONS ARE INCLUDED
