Opinion on grade

Posts: 27 ✭
I am planning on submitting some cards for grading and was wondering what everyone thought they might get. I am new to this so I am hoping to get some feedback before I send the cards in. The scans are the best I can provide so I am sorry if they aren't perfect.

Nice Hank 6.5? The other 2 I'd say 7 or 8. Others are better at this than me so hopefully they'll chime in.
Cards present well. Aaron 7-7.5 on a good day, top corners look a bit soft. Miller and Hadley look about a grade higher?
The Miller card looks especially nice!
6, 9 and 8
Will the angled cut on the top left hand corner of the Aaron deter from the grade?

I was hoping at least a 6 on the Aaron. I know the centering isn't perfect but it should be with in the requirements for a 6. I was hoping on a good day it might get a 7. The other two I am not as sure about getting graded. They really need to grade as 8 or higher to make it worth my while. I feel like the Miller has a pretty good chance. Thanks for your thoughts. I may post some more later today.
That centering is no worse than 60/40, which is excellent. The centering isn't affecting the grade. The corners are the issue between a 6 and a 7. Without the corner issues, its an 8 all day long.
I actively collect Kirby Puckett. I have collections of Michael Jordan, Emmitt Smith, Roberto Clemente, Dwight Gooden, Tom Seaver, Errict Rhett and Evan Longoria.
So here is another one I am considering. Thanks everyone for input. It really helps to have others look at my cards.
The Aaron might be a no holder miscut, unless that's just the angle of the pic.
So I have never noticed that about that card. Is that something that happened back when the cards were made or do this mean it is a card that might have been tampered with? These were my dad's cards and so I don't really know much about them.
5, 7, 7, 6.

Factory miscuts happened all the time. I have several that were my dad's that are like that. I doubt it's been trimmed since the corner wear is very consistent.
Nice. 6, 8, 8, 8

Nobody thinks the Aaron is trimmed EOT? Those bat ear curved top corners from the side look wierd/unnatural. The others you might want to look at pop report my guess is even if they were to get 8s might not be worth the grading fees, etc.
I agree that the Aaron is miscut and will not be holdered.
It's possible, but if I was betting on it I'd say miscut. I've got a few that look similar and are definitely not trimmed.
Scans sometimes distort a cards appearance.
Yeah it is much worse in the scan then in person. I have shown that card to several dealers to get feedback on it and learn about the industry and not a single one of them noticed it. I see it now that it is pointed out to me but I had not noticed until now. I won't submit this one for grading and will likely just sell it raw. I have not trimmed it and I can not imagine my dad did. He did buy some cards later in his life to fill in his sets. This may have been one I am not sure so there is the chance he bought a trimmed card with out knowing it. Anyway. Thanks for the input everyone. I am now just waiting on my first submission of 6 cards to PSA. They received them on 2/5 and still not logged. Oh well I will just wait.
