I thought the TPGs fees are based on the value of the card. Is that not correct? If so, how much is it going to cost to have a TPG encapsulate the following:
  • T206 Green Cobb (VG-EX)
  • 1933 Goudey Babe Ruth (any of them) (EX)
  • Rookie Trout Chrome that recently sold for just stupid money
On the Cobb if you had it 10 yrs ago should have graded it then, probably$10,000 card then, now probably high $ 20,000 , not sure how they charge, had mine graded 20 years ago. Joe
