Thanks. I forgot that, I guess. I still don't think that it would drastically increase the price, plus it would be in a very large bulky plastic case. And I don't know of a player registry that it would go in.

I agree that it will not change price drastically. Just a case where rare dose not equal valuable.

Rarity X Graded Condition X Availability X 2 = Value

Just takes 2 buyers wanting the the best available--

[bigfanNY]

But wouldn't the best example of this still be attached to an album? Look at the W600 thread and you will see that some remarkably well preserved examples do not grade very well. It is Your item. But grading is gonna cost more than most A&G and goodwin comps have sold for recently. It is a page taken out of a book ( not even the best page from this book) The collector or collectors who want the best want the book. That sold recently for a grand.
Book x 10 pages = 1015 > 10 pages no longer in book.

If the page has any creases, stained, or paper loss I agree. If the page is pristine , might a graded page have better value than ungraded. Example, isn't a Graded T206 Cobb usually a better investment and more desirable than ungraded ? ( Only the baseball page would be of interest to most baseball card collectors)

Sorry for the orientation.....

Your display looks nice! I flipped the picture for a better view-***** I bet you get some inquires asking if your display is available for sale **** (question do you know if the reverses are blank)-thanks for posting!
