A T206 "Find" & purchase! (HOFer scans added Post 36 & 37 on 12-19)

Great cards...cards that nice should be graded to realize their greatest potential value if you plan to sell. If I had those cards I'd start a binder and go for the set!!!

You have to grade all the HOFers, and every common that will at least grade VG or better. You will add value to the selling price if you do so.

That is a good looking stack you have going there Fred! Congrats, there is nothing like finding some new ones, they even smell a little different that the stuff that has been in sleeves and on the show tables for years.

Nice find, and a great story. Congratulations!

I agree with Peter and Barry.If you plan to sell them,you will be able to get more for them graded.Me,I like SGC,and would use them-only my opinion.But then again-I wouldn't sell those,I would keep them and stare at them daily like a crazed psycopath
Just kidding........it's just that you have such a good start on the set.............
Congrats again!!!!

Fred,

Nice find and story! Stories like this continue to put the "fun" into collecting.

Several more nice comments! You folks are making me want to keep them & get some more!

So far, nobody says NOT to grade, altho I think Ted Z would say NO even for resale!

I may not have time until Sat or Sun to get the HOFers scanned and at that, I may be shoveling snow on Sun here in RI!

I think if you're keeping them, there is no reason to get them graded, however, if you're selling them there is good reason to.

It seems to me that even the low end cards would get your grading cost, and more, returned to you upon resale.
