Not as neat of a discovery, X2. (post cards)

PSA 9s of cereal box cards from the 60s are super rare examples and are priced accordingly by the registry set collectors. Many were probably cut in the past 10 years, not 50 years ago by the kids that originally collected them. Many also have glue stains on the back because of the box construction. For the American Post cereal cards from 1963, it looks like PSA considers the commons in PSA 5 to be worth $3 and in PSA 9 of $60. That's a 20:1 ratio of a 9 to an Excellent card.

Thanks, John.

I know now from the info I have received, that these cards are nothing like I had originally thought.
Lots have those glue stains, among other issues, so no thoughts now about sending them in.

I appreciate the info.
