1955 Bowman Umpires - Send to PSA - part2

[murphy8276]

Ty for the suggestions on the Umpires. I will have to check out my entire Bowman set now for the centered 100% for a 9/10 since it seems very tough to find. I was previously only looking for my high grade umpires.

I only thought about grading them because some of my fronts are solid and the backs on PSA 8/9's have some variance of ugliness.

Examples Below.

Am I crazy to grade all of these and just hope more than 1 reaches an 8 or 9? Even if some of the grades are 6/7 or OC something. If I send it in a group for the cheaper rate. It seems worth it instead of selling them 5-$15 a piece for an umpire ungraded. If people think they can get it graded high they may pay more, but that is why I would rather grade it now and know. If this is a complete waste and none of these have any chance of getting a high grade then I won't do it.

Thank you for the help again.

Well, send in the best five first. Or sign up for the annual membership and send in 15 cards, including your Ryans. You'll be able to see what scores high and what doesn't.

Seeing high Buy-It-Now prices is good, but checking completed listings is more important.

I personally wouldn't send in MC/OC cards, but yours do look really nice. The pool of buyers drops when it comes to cards with qualifiers. If you do get some high dollar grades back, you can sell them and use the money towards grading more cards.
