Please allow me to do some explaining, I'll take it from the top.
The 1977s are from the most recent '77 OPC group rip. I'm okay with these results. Here they are raw from the day I ripped them:
(don't mind the other cards)
The Ozzie was also from the most recent group rip that included 1979 Topps packs. I understood the Ozzie was WAY OC, but I wanted it slabbed anyway. This is what I expected.
The Fisk & Murray are ALSO from a past group rip. These cards came from the box where I pulled two Hendersons, which graded 8 & 9.
I'M LOVING THE FISK 10!!!!
I don't have a scan of the Fisk, but here's Murray and The Hendersons:
The Gossage was also from a recent group rip, here that is (top left):
It was worth a shot, I'm not disappointed.
Guess where the Sandberg was from! You got it, a group rip:
What I expected
The Wright & Ramirez were from the stacks of crap I have on my desk. I just figured I would give them a shot. I don't have any scans of those.
THE RIPKENS!!
I don't have any scans of these yet, but all I have to say is WOW!!!!
GEM MINT 10 - 1997 COLLECTOR'S CHOICE THE BIG SHOW 5 CAL RIPKEN JR. WLD.HEADQUARTERS:
There has been 26 TOTAL World Headquarters cards graded, only 2 are 10s, and none were Ripkens until now. Last I checked, this card books for around $40 raw. This was a card show pick up about 8 years ago! I'm loving this card!
MINT 9 - 1998 SPx FINITE 145 CAL RIPKEN JR. RADIANCE
NEAR MINT-MINT 8 - 1998 SPx FINITE 145 CAL RIPKEN JR. SPECTRUM:
Anyone who has subbed cards from this set know, most of them seem to come back not slabbed due to minimum size problems. I'm HAPPY to not only have them both slabbed, but both Pop 1s with none higher!
MINT 9 - 1998 UD3 65 CAL RIPKEN JR. DIE-CUT:
Just thought I'd give this card a shot. I was obviously hoping for a 10, but this will do.
GEM MINT 10 - 2002 FLEER TRADITION 2 CAL RIPKEN JR.:
HOLY CRAP!! I needed this card for my Basic Set Registry. This card is a Short Print in the 2002 Fleer Tradition set, so it's hard enough to get your hands on, let alone centered and sharp!
I'll post scans of all of the cards slabbed once I get them back. Thanks for reading my LONG post, but I just had to share. GOOD TIMES!!

<< <i>Nope, I didn't tell them no qualifiers. In fact, I was expecting an 8 or 9 (OC). You never know with them. You can send in two identical OC cards, and one will come back 8OC, and the other will come back a 4. >>
Oh that's odd - I assumed you said "no qualifiers".
<< <i>Why was that 83 Donruss Eckersly not submitted? You should be ashamed. I know someone who needs a PSA 10 of that card. >>
The Eck, along with the rest of that pack, are on the way to your house! Good luck!
<< <i>The Eck, along with the rest of that pack, are on the way to your house! Good luck! >>
SWEET! I just pulled out a few 83 Donruss'ssess'es to send in with group sub too.
I scanned the front and back of the 1997 CC Big Show, because I think it's funny that the back was made upside down. Enjoy!!
<< <i>.......I scanned the front and back of the 1997 CC Big Show, because I think it's funny that the back was made upside down........ >>
It's more likely that PSA put the front of the card in upside down.

Nope, if you notice, the CC logo on the front is right side up. You can tell from the scan because it's hard to scan a foil card like this, but his name on the front is right side up too. I think it's just a design flaw.
