The "technical" aspect of creasing in grading....

[YazFenway08]

the points all you guys are making are valid.

I know the PSA "auction prices realized" data is far from a perfect tool...

but if you look just back a year or so for "comps", you see PSA "1"s of the '33 Foxx in the $250-300 range, the '33 Grove in the $125 range, the '34 dean at $200, etc.

interestingly, there is a '34 Foxx "2(mk)" sold in April 2019 for $200 and I think mine is a tad better...

So even if you assume that SGC pre-war graded is trading at a discount to PSA, and you assume that all the PSA prices included the juice, I still think spending $30/card and waiting 6 weeks (?) for PSA to do their thang might make sense, especially if I also send in some no brainer cards to defray shipping expense. I know I am leaving out things in the cost analysis, but that seems like netting $100ish with modest hassle on the Foxxs which is more than I could get raw

Basically, Chad and Mark, you are right on the money (pun intended)...I might just send the Foxx's and chalk it up to educational expense
