Collection looks to be all either early 1900's to about 1953 or so. You should set up on the PSA forum's and get these prepped properly for grading.

Understand it would be a hefty investment to have these slabbed and graded but ultimately it would be worthwhile in the end if you ever try to sell.

Pro's for grading would be the premium in price you can get for a top grade, especially on the older of the cards you have. A difference between an 8 or a 6 can mean hundreds upon hundreds of dollars. Also you would have these cards slabbed so you would never have to worry about any variances in condition (another thing collectors find absolutely necessary when buying vintage). Good luck and keep us posted!!

Thanks, I was referred here from reddit. I understood you guys are the real experts How does that work? are they worth grading at all? What kind of value i have here? got some big names, does that mean anything?

Holy crap!

Seriously though I don't see anything there you are going to retire on, but the collection has value if it is authentic (I don't doubt you, I doubt everything).

PSA grading will give a clear-cut condition and you will get top dollar that way. If you are near the area PM me and I'd be happy to introduce you to some of the vintage dealers in the area, if not, I can at least get you started with PSA.

Definitely go PSA on this, not Beckett.

Thanks a lot for the reference to the PSA forums, im applying for an account there immediately. When you say 'hefty investment" are you talking about thousands of dollars? I have some of them (the ones pictured in groups) framed behind glasss that my grandfather setup. It looks much nicer than slabs.

I'm actually in NYC area. Whats the difference between the two companies?

Holy crud, those are (or appear to be) an incredibly impressive collection. Hopefully they have been out of the light wherever they were stored?

As others have mentioned, sending them to PSA is certainly the way to go. The investment up front (cost of shipping, cost per card to grade, cost of return shipping/insurance) will be a bit steep depending on how many cards you send in. But the return will be incredible. Just one of those cards will pay for the entire grading process.

If they are all real, again, we don't doubt you we just doubt the entire industry, that collection is already better than 95% of those of us on this site. And that's saying something.

Please keep us informed how it goes!

Sorry for how vague I was, I dont think if you were to send in all of those cards at once would you even approach a thousand dollars for the grading service for everything. Im not 100% sure and it appears that KaraandMelliesDaddy had a more vast handle on this than me.

Also, im sure the glass framing looks much better than a slab would but it terms of appraising a value for vintage you almost HAVE to have them slabbed by PSA. I hate to say it but its an absolute must.

Again welcome Do Not Sell Anything To Anyone Anywhere Till You have these Graded by Only PSA Take your time with all of this again don't Rush into anything These types of card are rare with condition. Really watch how you hold them. I say this because they should not be under glass. Only in a PSA slab. Even if they get grades of 4 or 6 of 10 They can still sell for real big $$ . Just put some of the names into eBay search look at graded ones and non graded ones if you can find some on there. Good Luck again take your time read everything you can about each card. That is a project but will really pay off if you take your time with it.

Great advice to the new member, spot on in all you said.

Glad you made it out of there alive.

Really sorry said anything now. unless you're really hard up for $$ I guess listen to offers. But you really don't know what you have there till you get them graded. That will not hurt the values of these cards only big up the value. Which will not drop in price if they are graded. Also after you get them graded set up an eBay account use buy it now. Also as far as the money to get these graded. Take your time you don't have to send them all at one time. With that said my grandfather always told me with $ investment "You have to lay it down to pick more up" so save up or something and get those cards graded before you lose. And will always think about it the rest of you life. Again take your time. I hope it works out for you with just alittle time.

I think that identifies all the years and companies plus gives you a few actual card values (although yours will be worth less or more based on your grade).

I am not sure about the color cards without any names. If you get me the picture of a back, I can find them too.

[houdini]

To those of you outstanding BO members that are pm'ing this new member your crazy low-ball offers, you should be ashamed of yourselves.

I have NO NAMES and I am not interested in knowing who you are - but I am disgusted. BTW, that $1200 offer for the lot, %$%^%^$ you pal.

Houdini, great job posting the links to auctions similar to the cards posted. I agree, lowball offers are disgusting. Reminds me of Mr. Mint, seems like others here are trying to follow in his footsteps.
