PSA or SGC and any input on these T206's?

[jtradingcards]

I know I am not around here much but I just did pick up my first large vintage lot which included 5 t206's that are raw. I was wondering if any experts here could help me with the grades on them (or what they think they would grade)? And also if I should be sending to PSA or SGC at this point. I always thought PSA but a lot of folks are telling me SGC is more reliable.



The backs are just of the Keeler and Dahlen.

Keeler is the one where you can read the label on the back of the card saver.



Again, thanks in advance for any help.

it's not in the correct spot but some of them are trimmed so expect an "A" grade for authentic or altered, but by no means am i an expert

Which ones look trimmed? I am the exact opposite of an expert and would love to learn more.

I don't see any trimming. I wouldn't bother with Taylor because you'll get a 1.5 and not worth the grading fees. Hickman is a 1.5/2. Magee is a 2.5. Keeler probably a 3 and 3.5 for Dahlen. Those are approximate.

Thanks for the input. Hoping for 4's on the Keeler and Dahlen.

Sold the Magee raw because it was a number I was OK with. Not sure if I sold too cheap, probably did, but it is what it is. Gonna definitely grade the Keeler and Dahlen.

I think Keeler is a PSA 3 and a SGC 50
Dahlen is a PSA 3.5 and SGC 50 or 55

Pretty confident with those numbers, but can't guarantee it.

Keeler 3 MK
Dahlen A

If selling, will the sales price increase in a slab be greater than the grading fees?

I don't really see a 50 or 55 on either. I'd think both should be 40, or PSA 3

But 50 is possible, I've seen a few 50's with corners like those.

For resale PSA might be better. The registry and competitiveness give the prices a boost. (I prefer SGC, but there is usually a difference in price)

I dont know. My business is mostly focused on modern cards so this is a whole new ballgame for me.

I can't add anymore than what Luke has already said and I agree with what he has posted.
