Need Advice Regarding Selling My T206 Set

[chaddurbin]

phillies*phan seems to have the best suggestion. may take a little legwork on your part but you won't necessarily have someone else take about 15% out of your sales (8% ebay+3% paypal+ cosignment fees).

Yes, there are auction house's that pay grading fees without renumeration. We have sent several submissions in gratis for our upcoming auction.

Nobody has mentioned it yet, but we would love to see them in the B/S/T

if you are getting your t-206's graded, do yourself a favor and go with SGC. For aesthetic reasons alone, they have the nicest holders.

Jim,

I have to respectfully disagree. If the primary reason for grading is resale (which is what it sounds like here) I'd be willing to bet quite a bit that the seller would get more money for slabbed PSA cards than for comparably graded SGC cards.

In fact a group of T206 collectors (myself among them) recently bought and broke a T206 set that was mixed PSA and SGC. We purposely assigned a 10% discount to any commons that were SGC.

As much as I like SGC (and use them exclusively), PSA graded pre-war cards still bring more than SGC IMHO. SGC is the choice among posters on this board, it seems, but a lot of collectors still prefer PSA although I think the gap has narrowed somewhat. SGC holders ARE much better looking aesthetically and you don't have sliding cards like some PSA holders. Plus I believe SGC does a better job spotting trimmed cards although I sometimes disagree with their assessments.
