1907 Dietsche Cubs Set Question

[Archive]

Posted By: Josh

One of my senior citizen clients had a complete set of these. He had no clue what they were worth, I showed him the SCD price guide and wound up buying them today for $1K. Some of the cards have light water staining, similar to that on Tinker below. All of the cards have evidence that they were stored in an album with corner tab type holders, but no creases.

Questions:
1) What condition would these be considered?
2) Are they better off graded or raw?
3) Grade only stars or whole set?
4) SGC or PSA (with PSA they would all be 1/1 first graded except Brown)?






Thanks for all input.
