    If you don't take the time to scan, why should others take the time to give an opinion?
    So basically my kid won't be able to go to college, but at least I'll have a set where the three most expensive cards are of a player I despise ~ CDsNuts

    Do some searches on Ebay for graded examples of these cards to see what kind of money you can expect. Figure that your cost per card is about $5 - 7 in grading fees (if you use a $5 special), and go from there.

    some large, detailed scans would help us with this life or death decision.

    damn you guys are harsh..

    yeah they all are good cards, and depending on condition they would be worth getting graded..

    If they are in NM-MT shape, I say yes. Some of those are pretty valuable if they are nice.

    Here are a link to some of the cards. They are still in there case so some of them may look alittle fuzzy. Also is there a way to upload them so they are not so big?

    All the scratches you see are on the cases. When I put them in card savers I will rescan them

    Grade the Favre and Montana - none of the others are worth the fees

    Grade the Montana and Favre.

    I agree with the last two posts. I would include the Griffey if it looks better than the scan shows.
  • jswietonjswieton Posts: 2,870 ✭✭✭
    What would u guess the montana and griffey would grade as. All the scratches on the griffey are on the case. The surface of the card is actualy really nice.
  • jswietonjswieton Posts: 2,870 ✭✭✭
    Here are a few of the other cards I would like to get graded too. The walter payton is the most valuable so if anyone can give me some suggestions on these it would be helpfull. When i am transfering them to the card savers I will get better photos of them up.Thanks

    The Payton looks OC and probably not your most expensive card. The Montana looks good from the fuzzy scan. I would not send the Griffey in since it looks OC to me.

    Like others have said the Farve also looks good to send. I would guess your would grades would pop with a lot of 7-8's and a few cards that are OC.

    Good luck though... If you enjoy sending cards in to be grade just send them all on $5 special and you should get a good understanding of how PSA grades cards. Before you send them in write down what you think each card will grade.

    Boba is right for the most part but I would still get the Payton graded if you don't want the OC be sure to mark no qualifiers for it but be prepared to get a 6 grade.

    Yep, Favre, Montana, Arod and, I agree, maybe Griffey if its a clean card both front and back w a 100% full holo.

    I don't know much about what the Sanders would bring graded but the rest won't grade high enough to recoup the grading fees over what those would sell for raw.
