Default Argument for why Tobacco insert cards cannot realistically be Grades of 8 or 9

I trust your Grandson to sort it out.

No need to apologize, you are not prying. Here's my Grandson, Ron.....he graduated from the Univ. of Maine several years ago.
He has a collection of BB card sets (1984 Donruss, 1981 - 1987 Topps). When he was a teenager, he would mow our lawn, and
I would reward him with one of these sets. His favorite cards, though, is his 1952 Topps reprint set. He framed the Mantle card.





Continuing my vast collection is not completely devoid of graded cards. I do have several PSA 5's and 6's, and several SGC 60's.
Furthermore, my T206 Plank, Demmitt, O'Hara, and SOVEREIGN 460 red Cobb are graded "A".

"A" for awesome, and affordable
