Grading '73 Topps

I got these from Renato Galasso way back in 1979. I've had them stored since the day I got them. What I'm wondering is how the kids over at PSA regard the black smudges especially visible on the left edge of the first Cobb card. Would this card get a PD qualifier or could I reasonably expect a straight grade? And any opinions on how these might grade? I've never sent in a card to be graded. Stunning, I know!

Thanks for looking.

With the diamond cut on the all time HR leaders, I wouldn't waste my time sending it in. The rest all look fine to submit.

Not necessarily. Neither PSA or BVG deduct huge for diamond cuts. I've seen diamond cut PSA 9's before.

PSA deducts for it sometimes. Very inconsistent. But my biggest concern would be that the left side is too diagonal for the card to fit in the holder. That sometimes happens
