Fred CI agree with Al. It is a huge gamble to open old packs (cello or wax). You can open a brand new pack of cards from this year or a couple of years ago and there is no guarantee that the centering is perfect and that the ink isn't smudged in some way. I would venture to guess that most of the cards would be nice but there are always things that may not allow for a higher grade.
I'd like to see a few scans of these cards, that would be the tell all. People could actually chime in with their opinions if we could see exactly what your talking about.
