Ted ZanidakisI don't acquire graded cards for my collection....I have only about 26 vintage cards (graded 5-7) currently in my personal collection.
These are in a "holding pattern" until I can replace them when I find them "naked".
So, I'm a "dinosaur"....but, I'm not dumb and when selling at shows or on ebay high demand (or Grade 4-7) cards, I get them graded.
Primarily with GAI for the reasons I stated in the prior post here. At the National I sold quite a few GAI cards I had graded (N172's,
T206 HOFers, E-cards and '33 Goudeys) and I compared the prices I was paid for them and they did not differ much from equivalent
PSA or SGC ones on ebay.
So, what I'm saying is that if you have the right vintage cards, it doesn't matter what Grading Co. they are. Collectors will have them
crossed-over if they're not happy with the plastic they are in.
