Should I grade these Postcards?

[jcmtiger]

What does everyone think. I have a set of Detroit Wolverine PC, 6 have pinholes on the top, the rest don't.

Also have a set of the Detroit 1907 Dietsche PC, grade or not?

A couple of pics below.

Thanks in advance Joe

Of course grade them. The Cobb Dietsche fielding and the Wolverine Cobb batting are rare cards. I don't care if they grade 10, there is no good reason not to grade them.

Agreed. It will protect them from any further damage as well. Slab em'...

Definitely candidates for grading.

I'd use the money to collect more cards, instead of slabbing the ones in hand. But if you're wanting to sell them, then grading them might be a valid strategy.

great Crawford image.


If they were my cards - I would grade them.... and would expect '1's

You could just sell them to me!

It's a waste of your money, why not buy stuff instead of giving money to dorks with an opinion?

There are plenty of ways to protect them from further damage that are way cheaper.

I just sent the Cobbs to Sgc for grading. I will post pics when they come back.

I guess it is a little too late to have much influence in the outcome, but I don't think you need to grade these postcards. With the pinholes they are automatically a 10 or 20 at best.

What additional information will the grades give a potential buyer? If the postcards didn't have pinholes then by all means get them graded so that a buyer can have a better idea if there are light creases, dinged corners, etc, but the pinholes downgrade the cards so far that a creased card with a pinhole will grade the same as a very nice card with the same pinhole.
