Josh gibson mexico card 1959 ebay

To be honest, it will be the first time I send cards to SGC. Thank you to let me know about the issue, I thought they might be able to date the paper and the ink used to print the cards in order to make an assessment based on age. Or at least do some archives research in old La Aficion papers. I will send the cards and we will see. Actually, it is logical to not expect too much for $10 per card. Any way, I will let you know what is going on with these mysterious cards.
Maybe we should consider establishing a new grading company totally dedicated to Latin baseball and negro league collectibles.

Have you contacted the three guys you mentioned? That would seem the better place to start, as was stated by Phil.

Welcome to the board Sebastien.

To me, the grading companies are there to determine the condition of cards...i.e- "is it an 8 or a 9? Is that a ding on the corner?" I think that's mostly what the graders are trained to do. I don't see the graders as card gurus who have knowledge above the collectors themselves.
If for example I found an uncatalogued n173, I'd want to hear what the other OJ collectors thought about it, and it would make no difference to me what any of the grading companies opinions were. Rob
