We believe that grade definitions vary from set to set
Our stated goal is to build the world's finest type collection
of pre 1960 type cards.
Generally we collect only ultra high grade examples
In most gum and tobacco sets that equates to a Grade 8 or 9
However in a number of E sets and the more obscure T, N and D sets
the highest obtainable grade may be as low as a 5
Whilst others may disagree- we believe that condition is extremely
important. On the other hand we are indifferent as to whom the player
representative is for a particular set. Accordingly, we tend not to focus
on Hall of Famers.
In more than 50 pre-war sets we have an example of the highest graded card.
Good luck with your collecting efforts
