Any idea what it would cost to grade Mickey, Willie and a Robinson?

I have a total of a 109 cards from this set, with the majority in real good shape imo, and 46 in total from 311 to 406. It would be nice to get all or most graded, but I am sure that wouldn't be cheap?!?!? Any idea how much I am looking at just for Mantle and Mays?

Thanks guys, really appreciating all the help I am getting here!

I seldom submit cards (only done 1 to Beckett and 2 to SGC)
The Mantle and Jackie, will be purely on the insurance coverage for sure.
Even if you low-ball, PSA and others could charge you for the more accurate figures.
Calculate insurance to ship and also to receive:

According to SGC:
Any card 2500 or less uses the Next Day service (48hr) = 40.00
Any card valued 7500 or less uses the walk-thur service(same day) = 75.00 fee
any card valued above 7500+ uses the Immediate service (2hr) = 200 fee
also note: above 10,000 will be 300 fee with a 1-2 hr turnaround

Insurance- FedEx:
Base Cost: NextAM (50?) NextPM (40?) 2day (25?)
Add 2$ each additional 10 cards
Add 2.10 for residential deliver
Add 3$ for each 500 of insurance

For Insured & Register Mail:
Postage Cost: 1-10 cards= 8.00
Register Mail: 5k-6k = 21.20, 6k-7k = 22.55, 7k-8k= 23.90, 8k-9k= 25.25
9k-10k = 26.60, 10k-11k = 27.95 and etc.

Thank you very much, pawpawdiv9, that is great some great info! Glad to see a CDN place to send them. Like the idea of that much better! I appreciate it!

P.S. Sorry, but what does, "Value limit $500 per card" mean?

[DBesse27]

I would submit to PSA.

[Laxcat]

Yeah submit them. Also, since you're in Canada... Would you mind checking #131-190 for gray backs, if you have a #189 gray back you should let Al know.

What exactly are grey back cards? I really don't know if I have some/them or whit backs, if that is what they are called?

I'll check to see if I have a #189.

Thanks.

Thats just the value of what the card is worth at the moment. Of course the Mantle is well above that by all means and some others you have shown.
Of course PSA is the much better for re-sale purposes, as they fetch more money and they do have a new security hologram slab.
Its purely your choice, but DO get it slabbed. Like someone said, going to a show might not be all bad..You can get it done while waiting, despite whatever it takes...2hrs or so.
You can kill that easily doing a walk-thru.
SGC is not a bad 2nd choice, some folks like their holders, for the pre-war like of the black gasket i assume. SGC does have good customer service and talk to Earl, he can help ya out if need-be.

No #189, Laxcat. Also looking for info on the gray backs? Don't know exactly what I have but would like to know the significance?

Thanks again, Pawpaw. SGC is likely what I'll go with? I wrote them asking some info about the CDN guy but I have't heard anything back yet. I'd like to personally deliver my cards to the person grading them but don't know if that would be allowed?

I am hoping so for the fact I won't have to send them in the mail, plus the cost of doing so. Being there while some were graded would not only be interesting, I am sure I would learn a thing or two if that's allowed?

I'll let you know how I make out.

Thanks again..........Irv
