While I agree that '51 Redbacks are plentiful, they are very prone to small paper wrinkles that will hammer the technical grade. If you're looking for 8's and 9's (IMO 10's are gifts, so don't count on them) your best bet is to buy them already graded. Submitting high grade raw and having them come back as 5's will leave you very frustrated, and poor. And if you are buying graded check them carefully, sometimes those little wrinkles have a way of disappearing just before they are submitted and then coming back later down the line.
Personally, if I was looking to put together a really nice '51 Redback set I'd go for the 2 card panels, and not worry about chasing grades on slabs.
