Another SGC question.

glchen,

That is more good info to know especially since I have the S81 silk of Walsh and the Newsboy cabinet of Murphy. These two items are large and I don't have them in any protective covering which scares me.

Jewish-collector,

That is what I found out when I first showed a scan of the Myer card on this board a few years back. I didn't know he was Jewish and never thought about this card having a premium attached to it becuase of it. Once I showed the card, people were telling me that because he was Jewish there would MUCH more interest in this card than what a common card would otherwise raise. That is why I would really like to get this card graded and protected in a better holder.

Good info so far.

I would highly recommend grading just for the fact to protect the resale value and protect the card. Raw cards on ebay sell for much less on average, mainly because you take a risk on the fact that you have no idea from a scan if they have been altered, trimmed or lower condition. I would grade any card valued over $25 imo. On cost I usually save up till I get around 100 and work a deal out with SGC depending on the cards for usually around $6-7 a card. By sending this many in at one time my postage usually comes out to less than $2 a card total shipping there and back.


I agree that having them graded will make it easier to sell if you pass, I am in the same boat with no survivors and have made it easy in my will to send them with instruction to an auction house to sell since most will be graded and I have a full list from VCP with attached pricing so they know what to expect.
