The provided pics are way too small and out of focus to determine much of anything. Regardless, I would re-grade with SGC or CGC, just to get the cards out of the screw-down and PSA crumpled baggy. The arbitrary placement within the PSA crumpled baggy is such an unfitting look for beautiful vintage cards.

Or better yet.... buy those toploaders, and keep them raw!

Those lines on the back are likely associated with glue, and if so you will not get a better grade. Personally I agree with the suggestion that you set them free and keep them in a top loader.

Leave the graded one as is. It's not hurting anything. Put the other in a penny sleeve and toploader and call it a day. Nice cards...

The lines are from an old time photo album to hold photos in place, it might have transferred some of the sticky residue to the card. Sometimes it is just toned and no residue.

It appeared to just be toning, I saw no glue/residue left on the card. But I get how the toning would cause problems.

In that case....I totally overpaid lol. Oh well, learning experience. Biggest issue is I have zero cell service in my LCS, so unless im buying something I planned in advance....I cant research lol.

So many cards could use this treatment. Not everything needs to be slabbed. I continually see people spend hundreds and even thousands of dollars to get nice collector grade material(and lots of low grade) slabbed, when they could have been buying more cards with that money.

+1. I would sell it and buy another one that's raw. I've done this with sloppily-slabbed PSA cards before. It just bothers me too much.

Ha! I've done the same thing more times than I can count. I just cannot be content with that tilting card inside the crumpled baggie. It steals my attention away from the card, and I notice the crumpling more than the card itself.

Trust me. As you get older it is nearly impossible to remove crumpling from your mirror.
