1933 goudey Sports King Ty Cobb Grading Opinions??

[sportscollector]

I have had this card in my collection since 1985 its very special to me as my dad past to me and my grand father past to my dad. It been in the family for a long time I am looking to sell it now and have it listed in the BST forum. If sent it for grading do you think it has a shot a a 7 or 8 grade? I was thinking of selling raw but am considering getting it graded. it does have some edge wear on the back on the top in the center of the card and has some print spots on the cards. the white scratch you see on the jersey is actually a hair that is on my scanner not the card

Beautiful card! I wouldn't hope for more than a 6 in grade. Slight foxing on left border and chipping on top on back, also the gray "pube" on his shoulder might affect the grade. Dave.

Wow. Nice card, and the history with the card is fantastic.

As a reference point here is a 33 Goudey that I just received that SGC graded an 80. I'm not an expert on how the companies grade the higher grade vintage cards. I think SGC takes points away for centering, while PSA either labels it o/c or no qualifier. I would grade your card NM, and a great history to the card.goudey33french119.jpg

I Agree that it probably doesn't grade higher than an 80 due to the little chips on the top border on back but it does display as an 84-86 from the front. Dave, the "pube" comment was classic, I thought the same thing!

thanks for the comments guys . what do you think a fair price to ask for this card is? should I sell it raw? or get it graded?
