KennyJames73 Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 I recently got my hands on all mint 1991 football Topps pro set series 1 cards, 2 boxes of the silver anniversary limited edition football cards, and the 1991 series 1 platinum football cards. Are any worth getting them turned in for grading? Players include A LOT of hall of famers Montana, Smith, Irvin, both Sanders, the Nigerian nightmare, LT, Walker, Toon, and many MANY more that I recognize that are Hall of Famers now. All prestine and put into sleeves accordingly. Any feed back would be appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northkorea Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 I suppose if you think they're absolutely perfect under a 10x loupe, sure. Otherwise, absolutely not. Remember, millions (80mm+) of copies of those cards exist. KennyJames73 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyJames73 Posted August 4, 2022 Author Share Posted August 4, 2022 So because they are 10/10 it's worth sending them in? Because as soon as I opened the packs I put them in the proper protection and I can barely find anything on the anniversary box I'm guessing people don't sell the cards individually.

northkorea Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 When you say silver anniversary, do you mean the SB 25 sets? Honestly, the cards need to be perfect 10s, which means 40/40, not just 10/10. It's unlikely any of the cards are worth the grading fees.

KennyJames73 Posted August 4, 2022 Author Share Posted August 4, 2022 I did not know the grading of the cards are 40/40, when I mean 10/10 I mean it's mint condition straight out of the pack and into a protective sleeve I also wear gloves when I open any type of card pack it's a pet peeve of mine. Also yes I found some boxes of the SB 25 set at a thrift store for 5 bucks a pop I have 2 going to go back and buy the other 2 some time tomorrow est. Times.

northkorea Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Don't buy the other two, unless the box means the four set boxes. Last I recall, those sets would sell for $1-$2 each. KennyJames73 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KennyJames73 Posted August 5, 2022 Author Share Posted August 5, 2022 Yeah so funny then I'll keep them for 30 years then if we still have a planet to live on but my other cards I got out of a pro set packs are worth something when graded 🤷 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, due to waste management and environmental protection protocols, a lot of junk wax will be around in 50 years, just because it may be illegal or cost prohibitive to dispose of them.

KennyJames73 Posted August 5, 2022 Author Share Posted August 5, 2022 Only time will tell but if I can get my emmitt smiths graded and they will be a 40/40 they are worth a 3-400 might sell em under that for 200-225 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
