Grade these for PSA

Again I have some cards that I am asking for your opinions on PSA grades. My guess is an 8.5 to 9 on Payton and Carew (because of up down centering) and maybe a 9 on the Schmidt LMK thanks for helping me train my eye

    The Carew and Payton both might be OC?? 8 on the Schmidt, corners look soft, maybe??

    Payton and Carew will get you 8's with that centering

    so with better centering up down are we then looking at 9s and to receive a 10 the card needs to be centered all around? what is the ratio 55/45? does both back and front need to be centered for a 10? thanks for the help everyone

    for a 10, 60/40 front and I think 75/25 back, no staining front or back. And they do allow(as stated on their guidelines page) a slight printing imperfection. I've got a couple of Scott Stevens that back that up image

    55/45 for the front. Anything between 55/45 and 60/40 is more discretionary and usually requires much stronger attributes elsewhere to compensate for the centering (similar to 65-35 centered cards getting a 9).

    Honestly, I see a 7 on Carew or an 8 oc.

    I'd say around an 8 for Carew and Payton, the Schmidt looks like a possible 10, obviously I can't tell 100% on corners and surface but should be at least 9.

    Carew: 8 (OC)
    Schmidt: 8.5
    Payton: 8 (OC)

    Why even grade them? It would cost more to grade than they'd be worth. You couldn't get $5 for the Schmidt even if a 9.

    Elvis I wasnt going to grade them, I put them out for opinions to help train my eye, since I have had little to no luck getting cards back at the grade I assumed. Thanks for all the insight everyone
