I'm wondering what you're seeing that says the Bench is a 4? It's really sharp all around, although the scan does make it appear as if the upper left corner is gnarled, but that's not the case. The burlap is a lot thinner/lighter up there, is all...

The 1968's I have been terrible at grading. Maybe it is a '6'. The burlap throws me off. For my 3, I got the Aaron at a 5. I HAD the Musial at a '7', although the scan makes it look worse than it is....the Mantle is probably a '3'.

I agree you on the Aaron at a 5 and Mantle at a 3. The Musial looks like a 4 to me. The left corners look a tad soft, the bottom edge is rough, and the T/B centering isn't the best. You have to look out for the centering on the reverse on that issue too. Like you said, maybe it's the scan. Just offering a second set of eyes, hope you don't mind. They are all great cards, good luck!

No...I appreciate it. In person it looks super.....the scan tends to bring out all the flaws though.....if the Musial is only a '4', I might not sub that one then....that one is only a banger in mid to semi high grade.

Think I might sub this one. Looks like a pretty nice '2'.
