While there are a few cards that need upgrades many of the big cards are PSA 6's, with some HOF'ers in PSA 7 and commons as high as PSA 8. Most cards that grade lower than 6 have outstanding eye-appeal as we thought they had a shot at EX/MT. We graded quite a few Mid Series commons as we think they're an underrated tough group of cards. Judging by the grades we got on those commons there are a lot of PSA 7's and 8's in the commons that we didn't grade. This set was from a childhood collection consigned raw, and we just got back the cards from grading. Key cards we didn't grade were usually because of centering or other technical issues and will be noted below. We will also note the handful of cards that PSA declared MNSZRQ and our assessment of the apparent grade.

PSA Graded Cards
#1 Ted Williams HOF PSA 2.5 GOOD+ (we graded this because of who it was, not because of condition)
#7 Luis Aparicio HOF PSA 6 EX/MT
#18 Don Drysdale HOF Rookie PSA 5 EX
#20 Hank Aaron HOF PSA 5 EX
#24 Bill Mazeroski HOF Rookie PSA 6 EX/MT
#25 Whitey Ford HOF PSA 4 VG/EX (Not sure what was missed here. Obvious centering issues but we thought it was still in the 5-6 range)
#29 Whitey Herzog HOF Rookie PSA 5 EX
#35 Frank Robinson HOF Rookie PSA 6 EX/MT
#55 Ernie Banks HOF PSA 4 VG/EX (Similar to the Ford we were, with a few exceptions like Ted Williams and Brooks Robinson, mainly submitting cards that we thought had a shot at a 6)
#75 Roberto Clemente HOF PSA 3 VG (An absolute mystery, dead centered we thought it had a reasonable shot at a NM grade)
#95 Mickey Mantle HOF PSA 6 EX/MT
#97 Yankees Team PSA 4 VG/EX
#125 Al Kaline HOF PSA 6 EX/MT
#170 Duke Snider HOF PSA 7 NM
#212 Rocky Colavito Rookie PSA 4 VG/EX

Mid Series
#270 Senaros Team PSA 8 NM/MT
#274 Don Hoak PSA 8 NM/MT

#319 Gino Cimoli PSA 5 EX
#322 Reds PSA 5 EX
#324 DOdgers PSA 4 VG/EX
#328 Brooks Robinson HOF Rookie PSA 1 POOR (This seems a bit harsh, but it is a lower grade card. We would've called it GOOD)

#356 Faye Throneberry PSA 4 VG/EX
#388 Bob Purkey PSA 6 EX/MT
#373 Pete Whisenant PSA 7 NM
#400 Dodgers' Sluggers PSA 4 VG/EX (There are no words, sharp and centered)
