Robert - I also have a lot of raw cards.
A while back, I got the notion that I could buy raw Mantles at a low price, have them graded (at that time, the plan had PSA targeted), then resell them at a big profit.
After finished my stock-piling effort (don't get excited, I only have a few of each), I saw that PSA was up to $100 a card, which drove me, in desperation...to SGC...which I had virtually no experience working with, but their fee was only $30, so I gave it a try...then, a second try.
The process was lightening quick and the grades were 'harsh' - which I've taken philosophically as a somewhat fair result - and an end to my 'Get Rich by Mickey' plan.
I always heard good reports on SGC from many of our members, but I don't blame them in the least, my decision and I can live with it.
