"...that is the question.”
I'm getting ready to send a group of cards off to
SGC, so
(WOO HOO!!!) I can film yet another highly entertaining
* 'Blind Reveal' video.
That's the set up, so...
These cards are really great, right?
Spoiler alert: Nope, you're completely wrong, you foolish men!!

Sure, the fronts look semi-delicious, but when they are flipped over, you realize the
Clemente is obviously a literal hair away from being truly miscut, and the
Mays spent his cardboard youth pasted in some sort of album or scrapbook...as the latent yellowish lines/areas will attest.

Here's a very high contrast version of the pic to really highlight the 'sticky'
(get it?) situation...

My only motivation for grading is frickin' value
(funny how almost no one ever acknowledges that simple fact).
So, is it just a waste of time getting these guys graded? I'm not looking to sell them, but just want some 'eventual worth' here.
Mays cards have definitely been climbing higher and higher, but if this card is only a max of a
2 or
3 (or probably lower??), is it a waste of
$15 plus shipping, etc.,
(I'm cheap) when I'm happy just to leave him and
Roberto in their toploaders?
What is possibly the best grade either
(I pronounce it "ee-ther") of them could get??
All non-harsh opinions are welcomed.
