To be graded or not to be graded that is the question

Looks around a 7 or an 8 to me, but you really need a large blown up scan to see the differences in hi-grade cards.

Thanks Owen. Here is a scan of a few of the cards.... it doesn't appear they show up any better this way though.

Another attempt

Bottom edge looks a little rough cut, I think they downgrade for that. Top left corner looks a little worn too. Should make an easy 7, possibly 7.5 or 8 if you're lucky.

EDIT: The Ted W, looks nice, but I think I see some ink (possibly a print defect) around the top.

The Carew and Bench are both too off-center to come back with a straight nine. The Rose top right corner looks dinged, probably keeping it as a 7 or 7.5 . The Williams is really nice. I think that's the best of the four.

I'm going to be a bit of a downer and tell you the Rose might 7, but might be a 6. In the enlarged scan there's maybe one corner that's perfectly sharp. Sorry.

Thanks for the feedback guys... i was hoping for some 8s but i guess i will keep them all raw. I agree with williams being the best of the group and i didnt see all the little flaws until i started blowing up the scans.
