A raw set from 1946-1964. Anyone know?
Does the Greysheet have a bid/ask for these kinds of things?

That's about right. Maybe a little more if they're already in a nice album.

but if they are raw he'll want to see it in hand.
Roosie sets rarely trade at much of a premium because they are rarely
gem. In the days that these were assembled people didn't care so much
about quality. Even if they did it was very difficult to locate nice examples
of some dates.
The same applies today; these sets are very difficult to assemble as raw
gems. It's gotten much tougher over the decades rather than easier. Not
only are most of the rolls gone now but many others have been checked
for gems. I'd guess the vast majority of all later sets in raw gem were pur-
chased slabbed and then cracked out.
Are you confident the set is all gem? Remember that it's only specific dates
that are tough so weak ones will probably be these dates and significantly
impact the value. Silver Roosies don't start getting large premiums until the
MS-66 level.
There were not a lot of them around at the time and finding all the dates cost some serious $$. In the end, he had something around $4000 to $5000 (as I recall) into the set. Cool story. And at the time, he knew that as a raw set it was worth at most $100.
