Is this card worth grading?
i don't deal much in grading cards and I haven't delved into the 1952 set yet, so I'm a bit clueless on when it's a good idea to grade a card .
I picked it up cheap and it's super clean. The corners are great, but the back is real off center. Do I bother with grading this? Would I get my money back from grading fees if I did? Any advice? |

Both cards are very nice, and personally I would not grade them. You asked if you would get your money back from grading fees if the cards were graded. Are you going to flip them? And no, I do not think you would get your money back as both cards are easily found on ebay and various auctions.

I think it's your decision. I'm not as anti-grading as some of the people on these boards and grading does protect your cards and gives you extra peace of mind in case of a card loss through theft or disaster.
If you think the cards are worth grading, or even borderline. go ahead and get them graded Rich |

Get them graded if you want them graded. You will easily recoup your costs if you decide to sell, they'll be protected from handling, and they'll display well. Nice cards!

Grading
I am not a fan of grading myself but I would take Bob's view about stuff in the hobby to the bank in terms of cost recovery

I strongly disagree. The Phillips card is very nice, but O/C. If it were graded by PSA it would definitely get on O/C qualifier. Right? Below is a PSA 7 that sold for $33.02. It is O/C as well, but not as O/C as the one above (not bad enough to get a qualifier). So, if the PSA 7 below sold for $33.02, how much do you think a PSA 7 O/C would bring? My guess is about $20-$25, in which case I don't believe it's worth spending the $7 (or whatever the fee is) to have it graded.
I guess he could always request 'no qulaifiers' but in that case it wouldn't grade any higher than a 5, which sell in the $15 range. |
