From what I have noticed, there is actually a larger market for low-grade rookie cards like this than higher grade because they are more affordable and more people are able to buy them.  Having said that, I would get them authenticated by whatever grading agency you choose (hint: SGC is great for vintage) - just know that when you go to sell, they won't fetch as much as higher grade copies. 

 

Edit: I should have read the thread before I responded.  Glad to see you slabbed them, and you got a "2" - which is a good grade for a marked card.  Congrats! 

Yeah I was happy with the grade and glad I got the sub grades.

I am thinking of doing one, but a few questions.. 1) what is the time table and turn around for 50 cards? 2) When do they take the payment? 

Thanks

Congratulations on CSG's first year certifying 600,000+ cards.  This is no brown nosing - just thanking a welcome addition.  I have two orders in the queue so I will report the good, the bad and the ugly when the time comes.

Definitely get this graded. Rookie card for one of the all-time greats.

Yes sir

Sent my 50 card bulk submission via USPS priority mail on August 20th and received "Submission Acknowledgment" from CSG on September 20th.  Patience is a virtue... 

Does any company have more data analytics in the business world than Amazon?  Maybe, but they no doubt are at or near the top.  Yet their website crashed on Amazon Prime Day 2018.  They had all analytics available and still crashed.  What data analytics did CSG have available?  Best guess analytics?  Remember Ellen's Oscar 'selfie' crashed Twitter?  I believe there is no way CSG could have estimated/anticipated the amount of volume they have received.  I sent a 50 card bulk submission to CSG last month - how many 1,000's of others did the same since CSG started?   I also believe that all the grading companies are having serious issues with employee shortage.  It's like a perfect storm - much to the chagrin of the customer.

Like the scene from Sandlot where they have baseball cards in their bike spokes. I agree with you. I would go back and save so many cards.

Yeah here is another one I would save

IMO, I would slab them for the memories and to preserve them. In terms of value, I can't really say. 

Yeah, that is probably what I will do...damn, where is a Flux Capacitor when you need one? :-)

Flashback to the summer of 1968...Buying my Topps wax packs, flipping, trading and sticking cards on rear bike stays for that motorcycle sound! And of course as any 12 year-old would do as not to get his cards mixed up with someone else's - why not inscribe your initials on them...in ink!  Question for the board - these worth anything?  Thanks 

PSA has a body of work going back to 1991 with over 17 million baseball cards graded.

Give CSG time...
