Slab a multi-card puzzle like 1935 Goudeys?
 
Has anyone ever tried to get any puzzle-backs slabbed? Maybe it’s kind of dumb, but the thought crossed my mind the other day just as something different. Probably could only grade as A since would be complicated to account for the numeric condition of all 6 cards. But maybe it’s your favorite player or image and you’d like it slabbed. (Obviously wouldn’t slab a Ruth on back, but just a visual example…)

Huh, never thought of trying to get the entire puzzle slabbed together.

I'm S L O W L Y trying to build the basic 1935 Goudey basic set while assembling a few puzzles. I've chosen to keep it raw because it's easier to put the puzzles together. The few I've purchased that were graded I have cracked out.

However, some of the puzzles (puzzle 1, 8, and 9) are comprised of 12 cards...not sure if they make slabs big enough.

I think 1935 Goudey is a set best collected raw. Here my two completed puzzles so far:

That does beg an interesting question. If there was a Babe Ruth puzzle to put together, what premium would those cards get over the same front with a Joe Cronin or other puzzle piece

Yeah, that's kind of what was going through my mind when it came to me. If there was a Ruth or even maybe a Gehrig puzzle, collectors now would go at least moderately nuts for it, right? Would have added some extra interesting levels to the set and the cards that had those puzzle portions. Oh well, fun to think about.
