What would these two Bowmans grade?

I just picked up these two Bowmans today and was wondering what you gentlemen think they would grade. Does anybody know what the stain on the back of the 1951 is? I see this a lot on Bowmans. Is this a wax stain?
thanks,
Bob

    If I remember right the staining on the backs of the '51 Bowmans is from a cookie of some sort.

    Are those scratches on the bottom of the Ramazotti?

    Elemenopeo - WOW good eye. Yes that is a surface scratch on the Ramazotti card.image

    My eyes are definately going on me. I can see a lot more flaws in the scan than I can when looking at the cards.image

    OK Thanks guys.

    A 4 because of that nick on the bottom edge as seen in the scan of the back and maybe a 4 or 5 on the second one.

    4 and 5, the stains are commonplace on the backs of the 51's, I think some were sold in 1 cent packs (1 card).

    The Football issue of that same year is common to have staining on the backs as well..
