Grading Quandry - need insight please

Wondo

I have a nice 95% raw set of 1951 Ringside boxing - only four graded cards. It runs exmt - nrmt+ with a few lesser beacuse I prefer great centering over sharp corners. Anyway, with the PSA grading special this month, it would make $$$ sense to get 'em graded at $8 per as opposed to the standard $10. Just can seem to pull the trigger, even though I know I'll sell them someday.

Any thoughts? Anyone else in this type of position? What did you do and how did it work out?

If the set was a blazer, I'd say do it.
I wouldnt do it if I would get back a bunch of 5's and 6's unless you want to do the registry.
Ringsides are tough and a complete set is worth nice bucks graded or ungraded.
A nice clean set with a graded Murphy and Marciano would bring about the same $$$ as a complete graded set, maybe more

Since only a few cards are graded (and I'm assuming its with PSA), take the plunge and get the rest done. I'd suggest SGC as they will work with you on a quantity price and those cards look oh so good in green and black! See the comparison for yourself!

I'm definitely partial to the SGC case.

Actually,

The graded cards are:

#32 Marciano SGC 80
#43 Robinson PSA 7
#55 Fitzsimmons PSA 4
#61 Mead PSA 5

That is the extreme range as only two or three cards dip below Ex. Once again, I chose the card that had eye appeal for me over one that may have a slightly higher technical grade. Thanks for the input!

well see now! You only have to crossover 3 to SGC, I say do it!

I would definitely send them all in! What a cool set to have, especially in top condition. It is always better to get the cards graded now as opposed to waiting because they are much more "liquid" when graded.

I would send them into PSA on the $8.00 special.
