Need help: Can someone help with these 50s vintage.

Hey all,

Hope all is well!

I rarely do vintage unless they're graded so would truly appreciate if someone can help and tell me if each one of these look good on your end?

Will attach some photos down below.

Thank you!

Very nice group. Most look in great shape. Just a tip. With cards 1956ish and earlier, you can hit them w a black light as a precaution to thwart ending up w reprints. If they glow like a dorm room poster, then they are fake. The black light also easily helps detect recoloring.

The Berra, Kaline, Campy, Irvin & Ashburn should be your main concerns. Protect those corners on the ‘55bs.

Thank you! I really appreciate the tips!

The Lasorda may get a MC (miscut) qualifier because of the back being cut into the images, but may not. Is there a corner crease on the 55 Bowman Kaline? But overall, yes, these are all worthy of grading if you can check for surface issues in hand.

Ahh okay, good to know about the Lasorda! I appreciate the help! And it does look like a slight corner issue on the Kaline (Back upper right shows it a bit more clear).
