Have two 1947 Bond Bread Jackie Robinson #2s, value, and what to do with them?

[JSK23]

Hey guys,

I was lucky enough to come across these classics pictured below for free and I am kind of curious what they are worth in their current conditions. I don't collect many sports cards anymore and this era was never my specialty (I was mainly in to the 70's-90's). I've read up enough on it to figure out what it is and gather a bit more knowledge on it. Im posting this on various sites to get varied opinions as well.






I am not looking to keep these, they will probably help fund my rare shoes and vintage star wars collections. Thus I am curious on a few things.

What could I expect to get for them as is?
Should I grade them?
If so what be a reasonable price for them then?

I've looked in to SGC and PSA and Ive been leaning towards SGC, they can both be done and shipped for about $52 via SGC and people seem to favor them for earlier years.

Appreciate the help. Years ago I would have loved to have had these but Id much rather ebay them or sell them online and get more of the things I still collect.

You will net the most after grading them by SGC yourself.

I think after recent events that is your best option.

I already did an online submission with SGC, just hadn't boxed them up or wrote the check yet, as seemed like the best option from reading around.

Mind clarifying the "recent events" issue that may have changed things of late?

Thanks, sounds like quite the mess. I wasn't really looking to "deal" on here, mainly hoping for information, but that is something to keep in mind regardless.

Ill probably get the cards out in the next couple of days and then just have to wait a couple of weeks for them to come back through.

I also want to note they should be anywhere between $300+ a piece. Assuming 2's $500+

When you get them back and want to sell let me know. My e-mail address is dentist8@me.com.
Thanks,

They went out on Friday so it will probably probably be another 2 and a half weeks. I'll stop back through when they arrive.

Didn't realize how much slower PSA was versus SGC. =/

Those are the cert numbers. Seems I did alright. A 2 and a 3.5. Grades just came in today. I assume I'll have the cards next week
