1954 Bowman #66 Ted Williams Grading Advice

[raulus]

How are you planning to sell it? eBay buy it now? eBay auction? Net54 B/S/T or auction? Some other venue? And how soon do you need the cash?

I would be inclined to try to sell it at the current grade using a price that works for you, either with eBay buy it now, net54 B/S/T, or some other venue where you can control the price (I hear fakebook may also be an option).

I suspect that someone who likes the eye appeal of your card will be willing to pay a premium over other examples at the same grade that are less visually appealing. But it might take a little while to sell, so you'll need to be patient.

As has already been mentioned, the reports are that SGC has been tough on centering lately, which is probably reason enough to not go there.

There's certainly a bit of a twist on the peter principle at play when it comes to graded cards, where they get resubmitted until they finally get the grade that the submitter thinks they deserve. The only trouble is that if you're spending lots of cash and waiting for months each time, you could end up wasting hundreds of dollars, and wait for several months or years until you finally get there. As such, I would be inclined to not bother with trying to re-submit it, but instead attempt to find a buyer based on one of the above ideas.

For all you know, whoever buys it will either pop it out of the case anyway because they only want raw cards, or because they plan to attempt to re-submit it themselves to get a higher grade. And you can let them invest the time and cash into getting there.
