for about $34 i can have this graded by BGS. i thiink it will just get the " authentic grade.. do you think it is worth it to have it graded and encapsulated?

No? Do you not realize how large this item is? It costs more to get the larger slab....

yeah, this will be charged a $12 oversize fee.. the same they will charge for a program.. plus the $26 for 2 day grading.. plus FedEx and insurance.. so the real total for grading is about....

$58

Re: Ty Cobb piece in hand GREAT Pictures..

i have $413 in it as of now.. do you think it is wise to invest the extra $58 for grading?

I think so, the extra protection is always nice....not to mention the added value if you chose to sell it down the road..

Yes, I'd say so. Treat my 6th cousin twice removed nicely.

this is the most i have paid for an addition to my collection in a LOOOONG time.

it felt weird handing over $400 to the lady and getting this in return..

I'd be inclined to go with SGC, not BGS. SGC is considered the best company to grade pre-war pieces with, PSA post-war, and BGS modern.

Re: Ty Cobb piece in hand GREAT Pictures..

I really would not get it graded. Let the item speak for itself. Sure, getting it authenticated and slabbed would be nice, but I fail to see how putting a number on this specific item would help at all. Infact, I believe it can only hurt it. However, after looking it over, it has corner ware, bad edges some creasing/fading and surface ware. I can not see this going higher than a 1.5. Even if it got a 3 or a 4, the number will give a false sence of(poor) quality as it's a wonderful piece in terrific shape, very pleasing to the eye.


My 2? Slab it authentic, let the piece speak for it'self.
