^^^ I didn’t know more expensive cards cost more to grade. Typical of this scam “industry.”

[homerunhitter]

the good thing about getting stuff graded now is that when we become old farts and want to sell our collection and not deal with ebay or when we pass and our families have to sell our collections, if they are graded, it can be placed in a box and shipped to probstein123 and then in 2-3 weeks, a check will be sent, that simple, no hassle, no dealing with ebay. easy peasy. cant do that with raw cards

Well, you could kind of do that with Greg Morris and raw cards.

I think the key is to set your family up with at least a rudimentary plan or roadmap on what to do with your cards. Just because you have graded cards doesn't mean they will know their value or where to sell them.

Go ask a valued family member how much and where they would sell your PSA 3 1956 Topps Mickey Mantle Gray Back. And then ask them the same thing about some raw Mickey Mantle you have...you're just going to get shrugs on both unless you give them a path.

It's not the graded or not that really matters.
