Matt E.I recently had 180 tobacco cards graded.
However before grading the lot I contacted both PSA and SGC for bulk pricing quotes. SGC was straight forward with the bulk discount pricing and I knew right where I stood at “X” dollars per card. There was no price differentiation for stars or short prints, rare etc…
When I spoke with the PSA head honcho/s…they said commons had one price and the stars another price, but never did commit to a hard price per card. It was a pretty easy decision for me knowing the total before hand being a small collector. Maybe this is done on a larger scale with auction houses consignors etc...?
Oh and SGC holders do look better.
