Worth resubmitting for an extra .5?

I'd appreciate any thoughts as to whether these are worth trying for a .5 bump - sorry the scans aren't cleaner.

Thanks!

There's actually two questions there and they're both tough. "worth it"? We need to see what happens to the 8.5s. Will they sell like almost 9s or better than 8s? I don't know.
Will they get the bumb? I still don't know what they are going to use as a standard. They aren't consistant with what they already have, so it's anyones guess at this point. But here's a couple of things I see in your cards.

'63 DD has strong eye appeal for me, but I have seen many 8s with better corners. Without knowing where PSA is going, I might give that one a shot.
Killebrew might suffer from the print dots. PSA has let those go in the past, but I think they really hurt eye appeal and that might be the kind of thing that keeps cards out of the .5 club
Musial could cross to a 7.5. It's tough to see the corners in the scan though.
'62 DD looks like a 7 to me so I wouldn't send that one regardless.

Like I said, we don't know the plan yet, so we're really far from knowing what they will actually do with it.

All but the 59 Killer IMO are candidates. Is the spread between 8 and 9 worth it? That is the question I'd ask myself.

That 63 Drysdale is sweeeeeeeet.

I agree with Steve except for the Musial. Since the Musial is only a 7 I wouldn't submit it because I don't think that a 7.5 would carry enough of a premium to offset the grading cost. I feel that selling it as is (a high end 7) would gain you the same slight premium anyway without the extra fee you'll have to pay to regrade it because people will buy a nice centered card hoping that they will get it to bump, not for resale but perhaps for a registry jump.

I did not see the Musial was a 7. I might send that in raw and see what happens.

Those Drysdales are sweet cards! Those two will get the bump IMO, I dont know if it will be "Worth" it or not though.

What Nick said makes sense to me..

I don't think they'd give the Drysdales 8.5's with white showing on at least corners. I'd wait and see what the 8.5's really look like before submitting any of those cards.

Yes, no, no, maybe.

Yes on the Drysdale's.

A month from now, we will all know ALOT more
about how to answer this type of question.
