Default Ty Cobb W516-1-2

I think you get the most value out of them when they are graded with a numerical grade - such as SGC 40. An "Authentic" grade doesn't get the same money, even if it looks nice. Given that the strip cards are hand-cut, my observation is that SGC and PSA will look at the size of the card as the reason whether to give it a numerical grade or not. Recently I had a couple of cards (a W514 and a W551) rejected by SGC because it did not meet size requirements - but they did grade 12 other strip cards - I guess because they did meet size requirements.

Sorry to say, but it does not seem like the two cobbs you posted to start the thread would meet size requirements...and my guess is neither SGC or PSA would give it a numerical grade. Since they are Cobb cards, I'm sure you'll get decent coin for them, even if ungraded (or graded as Authentic), but not as much as if they were graded SGC 40 or such.
