I also want to send in my Mantle, but, like I have mentioned a few times, I am leery about sending them through the mail and not to thrilled about the price/cost of getting them graded.

I am not sure the total cost for those 3 cards, and although it is likely money in the bank or money well spent, I still don't think it will be cheap?

I don't think you need the Mantle graded, because it is definitely a POOR 1. And the people buying it will be able to see it in person, most likely. And I think the minimum cost to grade a '52 Mantle is $700.

The other ones are most likely worth it.

That is what I believe as well. I am just afraid, based on what PSA determines my Mays and Robinson are worth, will also charge me $700.00 a piece for those too?

I do a have few others that I'd like, despite what they grade at, to get slabbed as well.

My Nuxall, Minoso, Pee Wee Reese, Leo Durocher, to name a few.

If PSA upgrades you to $700 a card because your graded cards are now worth $10K, isn't that a worthy tradeoff? ;-)

That is what I mentioned above but it is still a lot of money, especially in my wife's eyes.

LOL.

Is $10,000 the threshold where the $700 dollar fee kicks in?
Guess I should read up more.

Thanks, Swarmee.

I can't see either of my cards, (maybe a very slight chance with my Mays?) being worth $10,000 so that changes things for me and my thoughts about getting them graded.
