Hey Runrickey,

I appologize for "these guys" an include myself in there with them.

Most folks here hold "new" stuff in low regards. 1960s stuff is new, around here.

Many of these folks seek out perfect, unblemished cards. A mark on the back is too much.

Many of these guys have no tollerance for any alteration or manipulation of the card, so removing anything is unacceptable.

Many, but not all, of these guys only desire graded cards, and if a marked card won't grade, they have little use for it.


Realistically, I'd think for you the cards are worth more to you if your Grand Dad made notations on them. I don't mind cards with marks, and I'm not a fan of graded cards. If you're going to sell them you might be better off to save your grading fees and disclose the marks. Maybe you can find a buyer who is ok with them.

Good luck with it all.

Frank.
