My advice is to buy ungraded Old Judge cards. I have found that prices seem to skyrocket for graded cards no matter what the grade. For instance, I bought a $10,000 Kelly card for $150 from an antique store here where I live. The card would have probably been graded in the 3-4 range by PSA. That same card can sell for thousands after it's received the 4 grade. I like to collect Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, and Louisville players from the Old Judge set, and have had a lot of luck buying privately from other collectors, and buying from the local antique shops. the cards I pick up mnow and again on ebay I probably overpay for, and I have been shill bid on several N172 auctions since Christmas time.
