If Nat Turner tells Joe Orlando to grade these, look out.

I would say no on both of those but definitely no on the 86. The first thing I look for is the clarity of the image and color saturation.

The font on his name is way off.

Imagine how much skinnier the already trimmed ones would get then?

Yeah, hopefully some new direction at the top will kick them in the ass a bit when it comes to expanding the scope of what they grade. Hoping for all non-baseball Exhibit cards...

Why do they grade some Exhibits and not others? I have heard it's because on some they can't date them, but they give wide ranges on some of the ones they do grade, so I don't get it.

At this point it is pure bureaucratic inertia. First the excuse was inability to detect counterfeits. Silly since it is the same card stock and printing as the baseball cards they already grade. Then it was lack of checklists. Well, I took care of that a while ago too. Now, it is "we don't do it" without a reason.

WOW. Great stuff aside from the likely reprinted Star cards.

Does anyone know where to pickup lots/partial sets other than ebay? These are tough to find in the wild
