Roy Halladay
Carlos Lee
Mookie Wilson/Hubie Brooks/Juan Berenguer future stars
Matt Holliday/Jeff Winchester draft picks
Carlos Lee/Mike Lowell/Kit Pellow prospoects
Pat Burrell/Eric Valent draft picks
A.J. Burnett/Billy Koch/John Nicholson prospects
Lance Berkman/Mike Frank/Gabe Kapler prospects
Jeromy Burnitz pre-rookie
Miguel Cabrera future star
Brandon Phillips/Victor Martinez future stars
Ryan Howard star rookie
Adrian Gonzalez star rookie
B.J. Upton star rookie
Justin Verlander draft pick
Neftali Feliz just minors auto
Many Ramirez x3
Thats just some of them. Thoughts?

    Relatively good condition = do not grade if planning to resell for profit.

    If this is for your PC, slab 'em.


    Thanks,

    Grading modern cards (unless they are high dollar cards) it basically comes down to condition and population. If you are slabbing them just to protect them and keep them for yourself, that's fine. Unless they are gem mint and very few have already been graded PSA 10, it's just not worth doing.

    Not in my opinion...especially if you are planning on making money off of them. Bobby

    That the card says rookie on it doesn't make it a real rookie card. Beckett has published a checklist of rookie cards for each player that is widely accepted in the hobby

    As far as which of these cards should be graded, unless the card meets the standards for PSA 10, I don't think any of them would be worthwhile to grade, and many of them aren't even worthwhile to grade as a 10.
