Not sure what is fair. The grades possible do have upside, but I could be wasting the $45 or so for both insured and graded. I do plan to sell them and although I had interest before to do a Ryan run, I no longer am pursuing it. I don't plan to sell the Ryan RC 1968 topps yet though, but am grading it regardless to see where it pops.

Any guesses on that one?

If I had to guess on your 68 I would say a 5. That ding on the top right corner on the back looks like it would knock it down. Let me know about the 69 and 70. Send me a message if you're interested in selling.

Thank you for the opinion on the 68 and I do agree that the one corner is the rough spot that I noticed, but I am not a grader nor claim to be anything close either. I am glad I asked the board for help on these.

Thank you to everyone so far and feel free to continue to share opinions, especially on the 1968 Ryan RC. I will let you know about the 69/70 as soon as I decide pokerplyr80.

Again for the risk/reward. I'd get the 68 graded as well. Even at $15

Ty Rich.

I will be doing all 3. Looking over some of my other cards as well now that I may send more at once.

What is the best way to grade like 25 or even 50 at once? I do wish to get them back quickly, but it won't be the end of the world to wait on some or "all".

[pokerplyr80]

You can get a discount if you send in bulk, but you have to be a PSA member. The wait time is longer, and the declared value of each card has to be $100 or less. If you're sending in higher value cards and want the card insured for more than $100 I would send those separately.

Yep, I would join the PSA Collectors Club with the 15 free grades, and send in your higher values cards on that one that apply. Then use one of the monthly bulk submission deals (this month is $6 per card Pre-1956 with a minimum of 25 for a 50 business day turnaround).

Some people who send all of one year in at a time get faster grades and turnaround since there is little research to do and they all probably get processed at the same time.

Here's my other suggestion: if these are your second best cards, don't send these yet. Send your best cards. If you are happy with your second set being raw, you'll make more money on your best cards getting graded. Why send the PSA 7.5s when you might have PSA 8s and 9s you're not getting graded? That's how I would see it.
