Have two 1947 Bond Bread Jackie Robinson #2s, value, and what to do with them?

When you get the cards back- rather than putting them on Ebay, getting whatever someone is willing to pay, and paying the 10% in fees- you might want to post it here with a 'buy it now' type price first..I think this would be the place where it would get the most attention.

So PSA generally commands a premium over SGC on these older cards? Is that just from buyer-desired effect or would there be sales history to back that up? Everyone seems to rave about SGC here so I figured that was the standard. I may have to buy some card savers on ebay then as I only have top loaders and PSA doesn't seem to like those.

Im not big on the ebay fees, but generally the attention and market it reaches is worth the cost. I am a power seller on ebay of other collectibles but If I got comparable offers here I may consider it when they come back.

They were actually left in an old house that was being flipped and the guy who bought it is a close friend of mine and passed them on to me knowing I was in to collectibles. I believe this was all there was, these random two cards put away in a drawer.

So currently upgraded they are around $300 a piece or was that under the assumption that I grade them? Are you suggesting at PSA "3" they should fetch $800 combined or individually?

Check the Vintage Card Prices website to compare sales of PSA vs. SGC. I agree you would do better with PSA. I am confident PSA would take them in toploaders, don't send them to SGC just because you don't want to buy card savers.

There is very little VCP data for this card.

Grade these cards or you leave $$ on the table. Grading 1's they are roughly $300, 1.5 $400, 2 $500, any higher and they start jumping.

Appreciate the help. They will for sure get graded. leaning towards PSA for flipping purposes, though the semi consensus seems that SGC seems to be more consistent and has better holders. Two things that don't concern me much.

I have some card keepers coming from a friend. Hopefully get these out next week to PSA. I'll keep you guys posted on what they come back as and maybe consider some offers here then. These should be really helpful in completing my loose c9 star wars vintage set.
