Wow Bill! You have the ability to pick some incredible 8's. PSA needs to hire you for Quality Control!. The Belanger looks to be an easy 9 if not a possible 10. The Bench for sure looks to be a 9. The big difference I see between the two cards is the Belanger has better centering on the inner white border (looks perfect) compared to JB who is not perfect but still outstanding. I am not even sure if the inner white border is even a factor when it comes to grading. The richness in color is incredible on Belanger and Bench looks to be not too far behind on color richness as well. I would seriously consider resubmitting both them. Belanger that has to be a 9+++ with the Bench being a 9 as well. My 2 cents for what it is worth.

Not usually a fan of early PSA graded cards but these 3 were well worth it. And a beautiful buy the card not the holder 58 Mantle as well.

Wow-- that is a SLEW of hotness across the board! The Ford is a card high on my own 'to get' list. That Banks is exactly my kind of card; sick centering. That group shot at the end is also awesome-- what a Mick '58 and Batting Foes. And why the heck is the Munson OC? Looks fine from here. Misgrade? And like others have said those 75's in 8 look like 9s and I spent six years collecting only 1975s.

The left to right centering on the two cards is identical, but there is a slight difference in the top to bottom centering. The Belanger is a couple pixels higher when the two cards are stacked.
