BobAnthony,
The ones we picked up were supposedly high grade, but the centering was all over the place, and quite a few had gum stains (or paper loss) on the back. We picked up over 550 cards and made about four decent sets and a couple more EX sets. The corners on all of them were very nice though. The highest grade that SGC gave us on any of the cards was an 84 (tough grader that day).
PSA won't grade the unperforated ones but SGC does. Most of the really high grade SGC ones you see on eBay are unperforated. PSA doesn't count off for the folds, but it feels like SGC does.
Price has been fairly stable on the set for the last 25 years. I checked a 1982 price guide yesterday and noticed that the '55 Doubleheader set had a price listed of $1,250. Compare that to the '52 Topps price of $6,000, the '55 Topps price of $500, the '57 Topps price of $600, '69 Topps price of $225, etc., etc.
