Grading

I have several hundred baseball cards from the mid to late sixties that I wan to sell. I have no clue whether I should have them graded and if so, which ones? I’m adding a pic of some my wife had framed around 30 years ago. Any advice would be appreciated.

  • For any kind of advice on the cards in the frame, you would need to remove them and show them individually. Has an adhesive been used to position them in the frame? That would be bad news, or if the pressure of some kind of backing is making indentations to the card borders. There are a lot of high valued cards in there. If they are relatively undamaged, you could easily consider figuring out which ones to get graded, starting with the Mantles, of course.

    Enjoy the go.

    It all depends on condition. Its hard to tell the condition unless you take them out of the frame. But usually only worth grading the most popular players like Mantle, Ryan, Jackson.

  • Still there are 2 69 Mantle WL

    Usually doesn't end well when any story includes "my wife touched something"!

  • Thank you.

    Pretty much how I ended up with children...
