Agree, also go through SMR magazine, see which cards are most valuable and get them PSA graded. Maybe 75 PSA graded cards from each set.

Wait till PSA has a $6 / card monthly special.

Good Luck with your sale !

Ignore this advice. The SMR price guide is a joke.

Grade the superstars and the key rookies to start and see what you've really got. If they pan out then consider some of the other cards. But definitely move to Cardsaver I and four pocket sheets. Niners are an invitation to creases and dings.

Thanks for all of the input.
Cards are out the binders.

I think maybe all that was meant is that SMR would help identify anything that was higher value than common, if one doesn't recognize all 'star' but not super-star names on one's own, not that the SMR is useful for the true value...

I don't mean to hijack this thread, but I assume my question isn't pressing enough to warrant its own thread.

When it comes to binder sheets, since they are well known to degrade over time, what would be an optimal time frame for replacing the sheets? It would be an arduous undertaking for someone who has multiple binders, with hundreds of pages, but for someone, like myself, who does not have the money for grading, nor the desire to put each individual card in it's own top loader, it would probably be more economical to just replace the sheets every so often.

I would say if you've got them in Ultra-pro sheets and keep them in a cool location, they don't need to be replaced. The first versions of binder pages were well known to degrade/turn yellow/molt in garages.

But as long as your house is moisture free and the AC is kept in the low 70s, you probably don't need to replace the binder pages.

Unless the page contained a Steve Lyons card, 'cause Lyons don't molt.

I do have the Ultra-pros. I'll keep up on keeping them cool. Thanks
