Is there a grading thread?

I would say no on both due to centering. Even an 8 would be iffy.

It's tough to say based on scans, since those don't show surface flaws too well, but the Spahn looks like an 8 tops with the ding to the lower right corner. The Palmer is very sharp, although the centering would probably prevent a grade higher than straight 8. Nice examples overall.

Spahn looks trimmed on top. I think you have a shot with Palmer though.

Thanks for the responses.

I'd be surprised if the Spahn were trimmed as I've had it for a very long time, but you never know.

Both are nice cards! The Spahn : Looks like there is a wrinkle / light crease on the right side just half way down. If that is the case plan on a 4 at best maybe a 3. There is some discoloring at the lower corners and bottom edge of the card. There also appears to be a ding on the corner. The Palmer : Corners look good, my only question is the lower left appears to have slight rounding and not coming to a point like the other 3 corners. Perhaps I'm seeing something that's not there though. If the corner is pointed like the others, you should have a strong shot at an 8. I believe centering is ok on both cards. The Spahn is not close to an 8 in my opinion. I would measure the Spahn to see if it is the correct size for the issue. Again, really nice cards.

Anyone mind giving me a grade estimate in this? A 4 or maybe a 5? You won't hurt my feelings. Lol

It might pull a 5, but a4.5 is more likely.
