So I am thinking of sending in these two michael phelps auto for grading.. As one that was graded a 9.5 just sold for 1100 bucks and even if they come in at a 9 they would bring close to 600.
I almost had a heart attack when I was taking them out of their magnetic "graveyards" to put them in penny sleeves and top loaders. That's right... both stuck to the case. Holy &^%$ . WTF man, here i think I am protecting them and thank God I got them out when I did because they did come off.. although i have a few concerns now.. take a look and tell me what you think. Here are my questions...
1) first card need to be cleaned on the surface, looks like a finger print next to the signature, What can I use to clean it?
2) Base on what you see any ideas of what they may grade? I have never graded a card before so I am totally unsure of what to expect although if you all think i am smoking a pipedream if I am thinking i can at least get a 9 then i would rather leave them ungraded. Right now they are just in my PC anyway. so here they are.
1st one, I think the better of the 2, although need to clean the surface of a finger print
2nd one I pulled back in the day, seems a little weaker on the corners to me
Thanks for the thoughts and opinions
