Howdy everyone. Just inherited some 1939 play ball cards from my grandfather.

Not knocking the OP, but never really understood why in the age of eBay people come here and say they have no idea how to get information on what cards are worth. 15 minutes on ebay will at least give you a ball park understanding of value in the marketplace.

He asked for help determining if he should grade the cards, and where to sell them. Not what they're worth.

I agree with the others, post some pictures and see if you can sell as an upgraded lot here first. There will probably be some interest.

Ellrick,
Sorry if we disappointed you a bit. As was stated earlier, this set is underrated and at this time fairly inexpensive. As an example for your card #162, I purchased a PSA3 VG #162 for $19 about 5 months ago. There was a PSA5 that sold for $70. If one sold for $1000, it must have been a PSA8.5-9 to get that.

Not to be mean but your scanner settings are awful. The scan is so bleached out or over-exposed you can't see detail. That being said your soaking certainly didn't seem to hurt the card.

Keep the card between two sheets of printer paper overnight, replace the paper in the morning, then let it dry another day.

I just set the DPI to high and hit scan like a doofus.

Thanks for the tips guys, I was using paper towels, will try printer paper.

Of course he can check a value if he knows the card but ebay won't give the advice needed otherwise. Most people find Net54baseball by googling vintage cards etc.... Many see a friendly forum to ask advice from so they do.
