Grade the 70 Seaver and the 73 Schmidt.

If I was buying the set for myself, I might grade the Schmidt rookie (chance at a PSA 6). If I was planning to sell these cards, I would grade the Schmidt as well as the Yaz rookie (probably PSA 4), as both would sell better graded.

Schmidt has multiple surface blemishes but I think the 70 seaver is much nicer than a 6.

The Clemente looks nice. Would it not grade a 7? Is the seller firm at 1K?

I'm at a loss why some think the Schmidt isn't gradable. Maybe my computer is not getting the resolution, but I just checked ebay and there are multiple 8's that look worse than that Schmidt.

Schmidt is nicely centered. Can't tell if there's a ding in the bottom right corner or not due to the bright image. 1973's had notorious back centering issues as well, so I'd have to see the back of the card. Although PSA is much more forgiving on back centering (even a 75/25 back can qualify for a 10).

The OP switched out the scans. His initial post included much larger higher resolution scans. IIRC, there was a lot of wear on one of the corners (top right I believe). It looked like a 5.5 or 6 to me.

That might explain why I don't see a Yaz Rookie in the batch.

That 1960 Clemente looks very worthy of submission.
