About how would these cards grade?

Same with above. My guess is a 1.5 for the Goudey and 2 for the T205. Too much chipping and rough corners for a 3.

Agree with the others

Nice cards, I would guess-

T205 Clarke- 40/3

Goudey Greenberg- 20/1.5 or PSA 3 (MK)

Greenburg @ a 1.5

Clarke is a 2 with pushing the limit of a 3 being possible on a really good day. Don't get your hopes up on that but be happy if it is.

Didn't look at any of the posts, just tried to grade as objectively as possible.

Clarke: 2
Greenberg: 1.5

Thanks for all the input everyone. Looks like I paid a little too much for that Greenberg several months ago, it was listed as "Good" condition for $125, too much, o well live and I learned.

25 years ago your RAW R320 card was often called "Good", and the T205 Clarke would be G/VG or VG by many.

3rd party grading is very conservative on purpose, and IMO they leave no room at the bottom of their scale...

Years ago a Poor card was a destroyed card (ie torn in 1/2 taped back together, hole punches, skinned backs, no borders, etc. Fair was only slightly better.

Now with 3rd party grading, you can find nice clean (vintage) cards with anything from a 4-10 grade. Even many "1's" have nice eye appeal and should never have the word "POOR" associated with them...

ie.

VG IMO



I actually think they spin a wheel sometimes to get the number they put on the slab....
