Cards with a pinhole should automatically grade a Poor 1 from PSA. Maybe a 1.5 from SGC.
I would think any card you think is VG or better or a Hall of Famer is worth grading. That's a great start to a collection!

Hi Stephen,

If you're eventually looking to sell, the Hall of famers and the Lundgren would
be the only ones that would be worth grading as far as getting a return on
the grading fees.

I think you have the Tinker (Hands on Knees) and Bat on shoulder back scans
mixed up.

Yeah, what Pat said. T206 are pretty easy to figure out values for. Just look at completed sales on ebay. You have a lot of $15-35 commons and some $60-$200 HOFers. The Chance yellow and Brown OM look pretty nice. Definitely grade those (unless you only have a few cards to send in and the costs will add up to like $35 each)

Look at the back of #10: it is a factory "overprint" back because there is an additional bar with circular swirls that is covering up the previous factory information. Then the new factory was printed below the frame. Some collectors who are going for complete back runs would value these a little more highly. Don't sleep on the factory numbers or series (150, 350, 460) because these variations are what a lot of T206 fans love collecting, and will pay a premium for.
Since I usually pay about $7/card for bulk submission grading, that's why I recommended grading cards at VG condition or better. If you pay more to have yours graded, maybe just go for VG/EX or EX commons.

You might have to school me more on these when you have time.

Ok heres a question...

Old Mill (Southern Leagues) - Brown

How do you know if it's brown or black faded.

I included 2 photos of my old mill backs..

Are either of these brown?

If so what value is added?

SL'er = Southern Leaguer

The brown Old Mill backs only come on Southern Leaguers (technically 48 players from several minor leagues in the south), and are always hand-cut, with uneven edges. They're very rare, worth thousands of dollars in decent condition, but if the player is a major leaguer (as yours are), there's no need to worry about it. Yours are black Old Mills.

Printers scrap cards are ones that were not fully printed or discarded during the process at some point, normally trashed in sheets and then cut apart later. That's why people mention they're hand cut instead of factory cut. Sometimes they have missing colors, sometimes they have upside down backs, or are blank backed, or have multiple cards printed on top of each other.
