Overall, I'm pleased. I'll probably scan the Bo when it arrives to get some insight on how it received such an ugly grade. The Ryan ERRORS are really tough grades due to them being found only in early packs and not in factory sets, where the cards come out much cleaner - plus they were heavily traded (handled) back in 1990. I was hoping for 9's on both so this was a very welcome bonus.
The McDonald card is one of my all-time favorite errors and again, I was hoping for a 9. I'm also pleased with my cutting skills, as the Gooden black-bordered box bottom did better than the 8 I was reaching for.
I opened the 1992 Fleer box a couple days before I mailed my cards in and was blown away by how clean that black-bordered card was, considering that I found the sealed box looking kinda of shabby at a goodwill. The 1996 Thomas Gold Refractor was once a $900 card and one of the greatest looking insert/parallels ever - I may hold on to this one as well.
And most importantly, I am now the proud owner of all three graded Prince rookie cards!!

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
<< <i>Nice grades. Glad you are happy with them.
Now go and enjoy them!
Yeah, not so much a post 1995 Prince fan.

Would my 9's have been 10's had I submitted a "Burt" Saberhagen instead?
