Which cards should I grade, and who should I have grade them

bodiaz · Jul 27, 2009

I would like some opinions from you guys that get stuff graded all of the time. I have not got anything graded in years. I am planning on driving to Cleveland Sat and getting some stuff graded. I do not have the money to get all of this stuff graded, but I want to get at least 7 slabbed. Which 7 of these cards would you choose, and which company would you use? Any help will be GREATLY appreciated!

I also have incoming TTM/IP autos on Allen Ginter cards: Jim Thome, Mariano Rivera, Joe Torre, Ian Kinsler Rookie, Prince Fielder Rookie, Trevor Hoffman.

Why PSA? Why not BGS? Which 7 cards would you get graded out of these if they were yours?

personally i would not get any of them graded if they are for PC, but if I had to pick some to grade i would say the bond's autos

I don't see the need to grade any of those, except maybe just the 1st one for protection. Bonds autos graded won't sell higher, TTMs graded won't sell higher, so it would be a waste of money IMO.

These are all PC except the Satchel. I just love the way the TTMs look when slabbed. And I also thought when I do go to move them, being certified would show they are real autos. That should help the sale.

the page dosent look likeit would get a 7. i would use bgs jsa for the autos. pick your seven favorie cards and submit them.

bodiaz · Jul 27, 2009

No the Paige will not get a 7. Probably a 4 or 4.5.

for the page i would use psa because you want to resell it. pick your 6 favorite autos and get them slabed bgs for the protection.

1) Shrink your signature.
2) Save your $$ and pass on the grading.

+1 on both counts.

If anything, pick a service and get the TTM's slabbed authentic.
Grading those is not going to do you any good.

That is what I paln on doing. I am only getting the TTMs slabbed authentic, not graded. Anyone know how much it costs for that service?

because if they grade lower than a 9 they will be woth less money than raw

I'd get the Bonds buyback authenticated as those go for good money. I'd save money on the rest unless you simply want the holder given authentication fees would absorb most future sale value. If you insist on getting seven cards authenticated then I'd start with the Bonds cards as he is a tougher IP signer and still has considerable following.

f2-Thanked for your advice!

PSA 1.5 on the Paige. Paper loss, no corners. Nice card though.
