Is this Ted Williams worth having Graded....?

Smittys

I would have to Join the collector's Club. Is this worth joining to have graded?
And what grade would you call it? Sorry about the dust on my scanner

Heck yeah!!! you should have that card graded IMO. It's a classic Ted card!!

ArnyVee

I would grade it, absolutely.

Grade of a "5" maybe? What do you guys think?

Any Ted Williams card is worth having graded.

Certainly have it graded - IMO the presentation will make it look even nicer, and definitely it'll be more liquid if you ever need to sell. I would expect a grade of EX. Nice centering and a nice-looking card!

The only Ted Williams card I could think not worth grading would be a regular issue of his in the kind of bike-spoke condition where practically nothing of the card remains solid, or, his '59 Fleer issues in less-than-perfect shape. Other than that...

Looks very similar to the PSA 4 I just upgraded from. I don't think it's a 5, but you could get a slider.
It's definitely worth grading- the fee will pay for itself many times over.
You'd have to join the collectors club (which would give you 6 free submissions, the Smithsonian book, year sub to SMR {when they actually send it to you} and access to the pop report) or piggyback it on someone else's submission.

agreed w/griffins on the grade and the rationale to join.

nice centering on that card, which is somewhat tough in that issue
