At the risk of raising the ire of regulars by being the eleventy thousandth person to ask this, I wanted to ask a question about grading of a T206 Frank Delehanty. I bought the following at a show today from a seller I deal with regularly.
It is in great condition, so I paid $60 for it. However, T206 is not really in my collecting wheelhouse. I am mainly a post-war set builder (and haven't even gotten out of the 1970s yet.) However, I was thinking that I might grade it* and flip it in order to finance my normal collecting activities. As far as condition, the corners are a little soft, there is a vertical surface wrinkle from the bottom of the card up to the top of the L on the back, and the smudge on the top right hand corner, also on the back. So my questions are as follows:
- Is the return over my $60 investment large enough to justify grading?
- Is there a preferred grading company for cards of this vintage?
* I know many, if not most, folks here are not particularly enamored with grading. I don't have opinions on it one way or the other, although I never buy graded cards. However, there is a market out there for them and if I can take advantage of it, why not?
