Any of you guys looking for raw cards that could grade i came accross 150+ 1955 topps cards im listing on ebay. Got them from an older guy who had them his whole life. so i can say 99.9% sure they havent been tampered with. so if your looking for mid grade 5-7 maybe some 8's these might help you.

I have a batch of '78s with signatures obtained by myself, FROM myself, if you know what I mean! Also, when the '82 K-Marts came out I trimmed a set once to try to fool my friends into thinking I had minis of the originals. It didn't work. Then there's the '82 Topps Len Barker in which I erased his name on the front and handwrote my own in pencil. There might be a Tom Hume out there that suffered the same fate.
But, I did once buy a raw '55 Bowman (#196 Russ Meyer) on Ebay from a guy who said he had them since he bought them in packs in '55. I paid $1.00 and it came back a PSA 8. So maybe there are people out there who took care of their pack-bought cards, unlike myself.
no stockings taken to them no lighter fluid etc.. and out of 164 cards that i have here 140 of them have no creases or surface wrinkles. so id say they are all gradable. most would grade 6-7.
This isn't rocket science and for sure, no one is ever 100% If I had the goods, I would first look at them under a good light source ( I have an Ott-lite and a black light), measure them and then whatever happens, happens - PSA or not these sound like really nice cards. Wouldn't mind bidding on the stars - if I can afford them - my wife has no idea what I have spent with a credit card!

even though i surely would have taken at least 10 of the sharpest stars and highs and sent them in to PSA. ten 7's and 8's could easily go for more than the entire lot in raw form and you 'll be more assured that rest haven't been worked on. with the 5 day special going on 100 bucks isn't a lot to invest, there is is potentially much larger upside.
good luck anyway!
The thing about grading if i pay the money than i get 5-6 back dont they sell raw as the same price as a 5 or 6? dont start making money on grading until 7's right?
I am not great about grading cards but i will say out of the 91 i have listed right now. none have a crease or a wrinkle. a few might have a corner crease but maybe only like 5 of them which the scans will show.
ohh yeah the item # 2794067900.
If all goes well with these this week i will have 1956 topps cards next week about 150-200 of those also. I am spliting this with the guy that gave them to me he said he didnt have the time to fiddle with ebay. so i am taking care of all the leg work.
