How to grade 1911 postcard series of 16

wrestlingcardking

I have a complete sport series of postcards from 1911...there were 16 in all and I would love to have them graded. Where should I go to get this done? Will SGC grade them if PSA does not? Any other information I should be aware of?

Hi Rob,

Are the cards from the 1912 Olympic Heroes Postcard set?

Or, do you have a pic?

thanks,

It is a Max Rigot postcard series of Frank Gotch and George Hackenschmidt.

Hi Rob,

You might want to call PSA @ 800-325-1121 or SGC @ 800-SGC-9212 or 973-984-0018 to ask if they grade these.

Is this the set? What are the dimensions of the cards? Any panoramics?

They are all standard postcard size and yes those are the postcards that I have...those are actually old iimages of my old ones....they were actually released in 1911 before the second bout with Gotch and Hackenschmidt.

Hi Rob,

Both PSA and SGC have holders to fit those, but I'm not positive that either company will grade them.

Best bet is to just call their customer service reps and ask.

PSA 800-325-1121 or SGC 800-SGC-9212

Good luck,
