Or you can always just keep 'em raw.

Not sure you wanna pay $10+ (per card) to grade a card worth $5 or $10. If I were you, I would just save the grading fees and put them towards more cards. To answer your question though: SGC.

If I were collecting that set, I would buy the cards already graded. The amount of money you would spend on grading and postage would be astronomical. Also, I don't think there would be much of a price difference in buying a PSA 2 Goudey versus a raw card in the same condition. IMO, it's not worth it to grade beaters unless it's a superstar or HOF type player.

Already graded is the way to go, they can be had for the same cost, or sometimes less than a comparable raw card. I've got 4 dozen or so 33 Goudey beaters, only 14 are graded. I bought most of those already graded, the cards I had graded were HOFers and the commons I really liked.
Enjoy whichever way you go. I prefer SGC, but I have PSA cards as well. |

I generally keep any cards that are VG or below as raw --- unless they are big stars.
If you must have them graded (for registry of other reasons) my personal choice is SGC. Regards, Scott |

The obvious answer is BCCG, they're at least "5s."

You'll be surprised how many of those $10 cards turn into $40 cards because they grade an SGC 40.

Definitely keep them raw. Why waste money on slabs to protect a beater when you can use that money to buy more beaters? Not much value in having a professional grader distinguish between poor to good.

SGC has a special now for $6 a card, $250 max value per card, 10 card minimum. You don't need to pay a pricey annual membership fee either, just send an order in when you want, quit when you want. I like SGC because it doesn't use those stupid qualifiers, which don't make any sense to me.
I'm often surprised that some cards that I didn't think much of end up good or VG. |

Yea, I know it doesn't make financial sense, but I still like to put them in slabs for some, probably stupid reasons. First there are a lot of counterfeit/reprint (which don't say reprint on the card) 33 Goudey's, so I just like to know that all of my cards are authentic. Also, it makes my collection nice and uniform when they're in slabs. And here's the dumbest reason of all. I like the feeling that the cards now have a nice comfortable "home" now even though they are beaters. I know, crazy.
Thanks for the advice, however. I'm pretty sure I'll just go with SGC. Gary |
