To PSA grade or not?
Wondering what everyone's opinion is on getting a vintage baseball complete set PSA graded? Recently got my hands on a 53 topps complete set. I would say most cards are probably around a PSA 3-4. I've submitted the more valuable cards in for grading, both because they are more valuable and because they appear to be the cards in best condition. But what should I do with the rest of the 260+ cards?
I am a PSA member so I could send them in for grading for 7 bucks each, but with well over 200 cards it seems quite costly. My goal is to keep the set, pass it on to my kids. I have no intention to sell, so would it be 'worth' it to get them graded/encapsulated? Appreciate everyone's thoughts! Nishant |

If you're going to do it, send them in by the end of the month, because Sept 1 the bulk price goes up to $8/card.
However, I wouldn't grade PSA 3 level commons from this set. Keep the remainder raw and possibly upgrade over time. Also, you posted this question in the autograph section, not the Post-War Baseball Cards section.

First off, I think you will get better responses in the card section rather than the autograph section.
Second, generally speaking, I see grading as a personal choice based on preference. Sure for some cards the value of slabbing could be significant, especially if you are selling. Grading lower grade cards to me is about whether you like them that way. If you feel it is worth $7 per card to have them in matching slabs, then go for it. If not save your money.
