I wouldn't personally, I don't care for cards from that time period.
For that 35k I'd either go buy a buttload of unopened stuff from the 50s/60s/70s or perhaps use as a down payments on my new Corvette C6 Z06.

I would certainly need a lot more information than the scans of 16 cards before spending $35k. If he overgrades even slightlys [one to two grades] - that could impact the potential economics of a deal like this substantially. Not enough information, i think, to make an informed choice.

and, FWIW, the price seems high if he grades accurately. For a purchase like this, I would tend to look more toward an auction house than Ebay:

I agree with Mark. 35k i want to be able to have some recourse. Ebay is not the place for buying an item like this.

I wonder why these cards are not graded?

Why wouldn't those cards have grades first, regardless of the grading company, but obviously, preferrably PSA?

I thought the same thing when I first saw this, why not get it graded by someone, anyone... even GEM.

Even if they are PSA 2's, I would think there are more buyers for these individually if not together with a PSA label on them.

they would be worth much less in a GEM slab than they are raw..

Back to the original question.

if i had 35k and it was burning a hole in my pocket I'd travel around Europe with it before I would buy a that set of ballcards.
