Anybody here want to make a recommendation. . .

on the merits of having a large group of 1950's Parkhurst NHL cards graded ? They're all very high quality, with plenty of HOF'ers included. Does PSA offer any deals for volume submissions ?

You should grade them.

They do offer volume related discounts, but the volume must be very large. How many do you have?

Appreciate the prompt reply. But as you know, usually if somethin' seems too good to be true. . .

It's a partial set of the 1994 Parkhurst "Missing Link" reprints(?), with stats for the '56 season that Parkhurst didn't make. Oh well, it was found during a cleaning project at the shop a few months ago, and I didn't research it thoroughly until tonight. Credit goes to PSA for having the archive of legit Parkhurst sets listed. I'll probably pony up $5 - $10 to the shop for the 60 or so cards anyways.

I would recommend reconsidering the decision to send all those in for grading if your intent is resale rather than keeping for a personal collection. Most of them would likely not cover your at-cost grading fees, ebay fees, paypal fees, & shipping costs with anything left as profit. Some of the inserts might be worth it though, depending on which ones you have.

That said, I think it is a fun set to rip. I was lucky enough to pull a Maurice Richard auto from a box of those.
