I have a question regarding grading. Let me start by saying I'm not a big fan of grading, but I'm considering submitting a recent aquisition. I picked up a 1926 Shotwell Candy Red Grange at an antique mall. I'm really not all that concerned with the grade (it would probably not grade much higher than the g/vg range). All I'd really be sending it in for would be to verify that it is authentic and to make it easier to sell should I want to do so some day. My question is which company to go with? I checked out SGC's website and looked at their population report. It seems the as though they never graded one before, so I emailed them. They said they'd need to look at it to see if it can be graded. Is this normal procedure? I don't have access to a PSA population report so I can't tell if they have any experience with these cards.
Any input would be appreciated.
