WOW! What a bunch of very nice comments!

TO: Leon, Dave H, Barry A, Trae, JoAnn, Jason, Clayton, Ricky, Dick, Johnny and my elder, Joe P----THANK YOU for the kind words of encouragement!

Trae--I'll try to get the HOFer's scanned & posted!

In my mind, I'm at the age where I should be SELLING my collection, not adding to it! At least that's what I try to tell myself! BUT, I find it very hard to get rid of my original purchase '50's cards & sets that I have managed to save since the day I bought them in wax!

I must be truthful here: My purpose in buying this collection was in hope of reselling for a small profit, not to start a set of T206, but I am in no rush to do so!

So, assuming I plan to sell, here is my question to ALL of you:

to GRADE or NOT to GRADE? (SGC will be my ONLY grading choice)

I welcome input & answers from EVERYONE on this!

Thanks again for enjoying the cards!

Great cards...cards that nice should be graded to realize their greatest potential value if you plan to sell. If I had those cards I'd start a binder and go for the set!!!

You have to grade all the HOFers, and every common that will at least grade VG or better. You will add value to the selling price if you do so.

That is a good looking stack you have going there Fred! Congrats, there is nothing like finding some new ones, they even smell a little different that the stuff that has been in sleeves and on the show tables for years.

I agree with Peter and Barry.If you plan to sell them,you will be able to get more for them graded.Me,I like SGC,and would use them-only my opinion.But then again-I wouldn't sell those,I would keep them and stare at them daily like a crazed psycopath
Just kidding........it's just that you have such a good start on the set.............
Congrats again!!!!
