Collection I'm considering buying - PSA grade help?

[Harford20]

If I was buying the set for myself, I might grade the Schmidt rookie (chance at a PSA 6). If I was planning to sell these cards, I would grade the Schmidt as well as the Yaz rookie (probably PSA 4), as both would sell better graded.

Yea they look great, actually will add scans of the whole collection soon.

Schmidt has multiple surface blemishes but I think the 70 seaver is much nicer than a 6.

Agree on all counts.

The Clemente looks nice. Would it not grade a 7? Is the seller firm at 1K?

I'm at a loss why some think the Schmidt isn't gradable. Maybe my computer is not getting the resolution, but I just checked ebay and there are multiple 8's that look worse than that Schmidt.

Schmidt is nicely centered. Can't tell if there's a ding in the bottom right corner or not due to the bright image. 1973's had notorious back centering issues as well, so I'd have to see the back of the card. Although PSA is much more forgiving on back centering (even a 75/25 back can qualify for a 10).

The OP switched out the scans. His initial post included much larger higher resolution scans. IIRC, there was a lot of wear on one of the corners (top right I believe). It looked like a 5.5 or 6 to me.

That might explain why I don't see a Yaz Rookie in the batch.

I don't see 1K there, remember you are on the hook for fees etc which will total nearly 20% so even if there were $1200 of cards there you'd only break even with a 1K purchase, not the mention the time/energy you'd spend.

That 1960 Clemente looks very worthy of submission.
