Has anyone here had a complete 1960's Baseball set graded ?

Does PSA give you a break if you have the whole set graded?
And is it worth it?

    PSA gives you free vouchers when you complete 90% of any set. The number of vouchers depend on how big the set is.

    If the set composition is 1-50 cards or tickets you are entitled to 1 free grading.
    If the set composition is 51-150 cards or tickets you are entitled to 2 free gradings.
    If the set composition is 151-300 cards or tickets you are entitled to 3 free gradings.
    If the set composition is 301-750 cards or tickets you are entitled to 5 free gradings.
    If the set composition is 751-1500 cards or tickets you are entitled to 6 free gradings.
    If the set composition is over 1500 cards or tickets you are entitled to 7 free gradings.

    Not sure, but perhaps Smittys is asking if you send a complete ungraded set of cards from a particular year in the 1960's to PSA for grading, do they give you a special rate. If that is indeed the question, give them a call because they might consider a bulk rate if the submission is large enough.

    Call Joe or Roy Alcala and they will likely work out a deal for you. I only asked about one set, my 1969 set. They offered me something like $5/card but this was back in the late 90s when $7-$8 was about the best pricing they offered at the time.

    I have sometimes thought about this but I would tend to advise against it. The 'problem' is that there are numerous cards that are relatively easy to pick up in a reasonable grade at a reasonable price for many sets. It's generally only the tougher cards that you need to send in at this point. I would be concerned about sending in a set and receiving good grades for the easy cards and average grades for the tough cards. On the other hand, if you really feel you have an incredible set, $5 per card would seem very fair if you can get it. Good luck.

    I'll post some pictures later I think this one would grade out really nice, but I will get opinions first.
