My advice August 8 2007, 1:57 PM


This appears to be a terrific collection. I would:

1. Invest in having every single card graded by SGC. They would give you a bulk discount rate. You can start an on-line submission here:

2. After you receive all of your cards back, they will be graded with a numerical grade of 10 to 100. This makes your cards essentially liquid and easily comparable to recent sales of the same card. As such, you will be able to appraise your cards at VintageCardPrices.com individually here:

There is a fee for membership, but it will pay for itself in the knowledge of the values your will acquire. It tracks the most recent sales of all graded pre-war baseball cards.

3. If you decide to sell, I agree with the above posters that recommended Robert Edwards Auctions. You can contact them here:

Points 1 and 2 will require a financial investment on your part, but it will be well worth it. Since I collect exclusively T206 cards, and have for the past 10 years, I would be more than happy to e-mail you about any of these or other related issues.


Thank you....as you have read,I am clueless(computer/cards)regarding all of this.I truly appreciate all of your imput.
