Zeenut Pickup Need Advice on which to grade
 
I just picked up this lot of Zeenut cards including this incredible DiMaggio card.
I am planning to get the DiMaggio and coupon cards graded by SGC. Are any of the other cards without coupons worth getting graded?

Other than the DiMaggio your stars are the (2) O'Doul's and the Ox Eckhardt at bottom, although I'm not sure if grading coupon-less Zeenuts is really worth the trouble, as not many actually collect Zeenuts slabbed (minus the stars).

You're on the right track grading the DiMaggio and the coupons. As Rhett says it probably isn't worth grading the others.

Nice pickup!

Depends on the purpose
 
If you are planning to get rid of the balance after the DiMag and coupons, then I'd not waste the money. If you are going to keep some, the only one I'd keep and grade is the Eckhardt; Ox was a significant PCL star:

Ox Eckhardt holds the all-time professional baseball record for batting average, counting both major and minor league stats. His .192 average in 57 major league plate appearances barely lowered his .367 career batting average in the minors (second all-time among minor league-only batting averages to Ike Boone's .370). Eckhardt ends up fractionally ahead of #2 Ty Cobb, whose career .366 is lowered marginally by his minor league stats.

Those are really nice looking cards. Congrats
