Depends on why you're doing it. For example, I found five 1975 Hostess Nolan Ryan full panels and one complete box at the last show I went to. I bought all 6 items, and came home and checked VCP. I found that the Ryan card separated from the other 2 cards sells higher in PSA 10 than the PSA 10 full 3 card panel.

Nick is that because of the player collectors?

That's what Im thinking Steve, but I would also think that the Ryan player collectors would need the full panel too.

Of the 5 Hostess 1975 Noaln Ryan panels I have (im leaving the full box whole) I cut two Ryans into single cards and sent them to PSA One was graded a 9 and the other was graded a 10. I saw no difference, but I will post the scans on the thread I started about them last month when they arrive from PSA.

maybe it has to do with the master and basic sets? the basic needs only the cut card?

or perhaps the master needs only the cut card and the panel is not needed.

I would think only the cut card is needed for the master set and thus that is a reason why it is valued higher then the full panel.


Easy to check all we need to do is look at the Ryan master set.
