Hoping for some extra eyes on these 4.

The Pirates team & Clemente checklist look super sharp.

The Mantle cut bothers me a bit, wondering how that would effect the grade.

What could this Snider pull?

Thanks for any and all opinions.

I'd say:

Mantle - 7.5, maybe an 8 on a good day due to upper right corner.
Pirates - 7 due to upper right corner
Clemente - 8
Snider - 5

Good luck getting them graded. Let us know the results.

MICK - I think the the print defect on the black border on the left (maybe it isn't even a defect ... maybe they are all like this ... I didn't look it up) and then soft upper right corner put this in a 6.5 - 7 slab.

TEAM CARD - real nice looking card, but the bottom left corner throws this in a "6" slab.

CHECKLIST - From the front, the top right corner looks a bit soft, as does the bottom right corner from the back. I think this keeps it from getting slabbed higher than a "7".

SNIDER - presents pretty well, but looks like a lot of "spider veins" running throughout the card. Solid looking "5".

What does the mantle card measure top to bottom on the left side vs. the right side? Looks like a tilt cut left to right to me.

I like that snider, I hope it grades well but it looks a bit fat on the upper right border as well mirrored on the bottom left border. Because it's a 52, I think they'll lean in your favor. I'd hope for a 6, but I believe it's a 5.

On the pirates team, I think you'll grab a 7 on a good day.

I'd be surprised if the Checklist comes back less than a 7.

Thanks for the thoughts.
It always helps to have an extra set of eyes or 2 to look at cards.
