Ed HansIt shouldn't matter what you're "into" a card for. If it costs $10 (fees and shipping) to have a card graded, anything more than a $10 increment over the raw selling price is profit, even if you happen to lose money on that particular card. Personally, I don't think it makes much sense to slab mid grade (up to a 7) 50's and 60's cards or very low grade (1-3) common vintage issues (T206, 33 Goudey, etc). Very high end (8-10) cards of any vintage will almost invariably yield a return on your grading investment.The problem arises when you think you have eights and they come back sixes and sevens.
