Keys grade as follows: #1 Aaron (EX) #19 Brett (EX/MT) #95 B. Robinson (EX/MT) #98 Eckersley (EX/MT) #160 Winfield (EX/MT) #230 Yastrzemski (NM-MT) #240 Rose (EX/MT) #300 Bench (EX/MT) #316 Yount (NM-MT) #330 Ryan (EX/MT) #335 Carrlton (NM) #400 Carew (NM) #420 Morgan (NM-MT) #441 Carter (NM-MT) #450 Palmer (EX/MT) #480 Schmidt (NM-MT) #500 Jackson (EX/MT) #599 Guidry (EX/MT) #600 Seaver (EX/MT) and #650 Munson (NM).
