Baseball Trade Cards Question

[Eggoman]

Recently, I had the good fortune to be offered a collection of 51 DIFFERENT Victorian Trade cards – ALL BASEBALL!

I will likely keep them “for a while” because they are too cool. But at some point, I will sell them. Here are my questions. Should I bother to get them graded? PSA? SGC?

I would appreciate your collective opinions.

THANKS!

If you want to maximize the amount you get for them, you will want to have them graded. This helps the buyer know they are authentic and assigns a numerical grade for condition helping gauge value for both parties.

I would not spend money on grading them, people who want them can tell if they are authentic or not. Why would a grade matter? 51 of them is a nice collection.

agreed...i too would not grade them.

they look fine in terms of originality (don't ask Pete how to take that!) and most who collect or trade them don't get them graded unless the cards were from a rarer or more in demand set like ones with named teams and players and that was their inclination.
Do you think you could take a snapshot of the cards you got if they are different from those above? I love the subject. Maybe just a single pic with the different types in it? Whatever happens - enjoy a nice discovery.

I appreciate your (and everyone's) opinion on this matter - REALLY! I will TRY to post pictures from all of the different sets later this morning once I have a cup of coffee...or 2!

Nice cards. I don't see any need to have them slabbed.
