Guess the grade.

[Taliasen]

Correctly guess the most grades of these four cards and you win an autographed and relic card form one of my breaks.
One guess per member.
No editing.
In case of tie I will use a random number generator to pick winner.
I submit through PSA, they can use .5 grades on vintage. (ie. 1.5, 2.5, 5.5)
I will submit these during a special in FEBRUARY. So I will not get them back until late Feb or even March.

1888) 6.5
1927) 7.5
1929) 8

[Nate B]

1888 4.5
1927 6.5
1929 7.5
1933 8

 

[CamaroDMD]

1888) 5
1927) 6.5
1929) 8
1933) 8.5

 

[NorthKorea]

1887 - 4
1927 - 8 (MK)
1929 - 7.5
1933 - 6.5

Though, all these grades are suspect, as I don't know what the backs look like. I also think the 1887 might be trimmed, but I'm guessing a 4.

Lastly, what are the Feb CC specials?

1888 2.5
1927 5.5
1929 7
1933 6.5

Thinking the 1888 could be as high as 3.5, but have seen some "nice" vintage come out of PSA lately with grades that were way below what was expected.

I will post a scan of the backs tonight. I will allow the 5 of you above to edit your guesses ONCE after I add the additional scan. IF the 1888 does comes back as trimmed there will be some issues that the seller and I have to work out! However I personally compared it to other original A&G cards and I do not see how it can be. It measures the same and if you look at the scan above, you can see the brown line that frames/borders the pic. Most trimmed cards get trimmed to that line.

Tim, I see you posted up the reverse of each. I will keep my guess as is.

1887 - 4

1929 - 7.5
1933 - 6.5

I amend my grades with the new information rendered from the card backs:

1888 - 3 (lots of staining)
1927 - 5.5
1929 - 6 (staining worse than I originally estimated)
1933 - 7 (upgrade due to realization that the chipping is actually cutting blade damage and not necessarily wear)

Roy, I'm just wondering, how did the BACK of the 1888 cause you to drop the grade that much? I'm actually thinking that I probably shouldn't have changed the 1888 grade on mine (from 4 to 3) at all, since the front is much worse than the back. From what I recall, unless there's paperloss on the back, it's unlikely that anything (other than writing or extreme staining, like a water or coffee spill) on the back would drop a grade more than two steps (one full grade).

1929- 6.5
1933- 6.5

just a hunch

So, essentially, you just wanted to change your grade after seeing the others posting lower grades than you. :banghead:
