N173 Find

Great cabinets, with nice photo quality. Sending them to SGC is an excellent first step. Placing them in a good auction will be your best way to sell them. There are many to choose from, and nearly all will do a very good job marketing them. Good luck with the sale.

Ignore pop reports, only a very small percentage of known N173s have been stabbed. I would suggest REA as a great place to consign the cabinets.

Oldjudge,

I hope people don't stab their cards.

I stabbed one once but it stabbed me first.

SGC grading is going to cost you money and wont make these sell for any more than they would ungraded. SO in the case of these cards, it would be throwing your money away if you are going to consign them to a reputable auction house anyways.

I know some auctions offer free grading. I can't remember which one but it's something to consider if you really need them graded.

I'd also suggest taking a close look at them yourself. If you find anything, like a small amount of paper loss, just skip the grading since they will grade technically low.

Most of the N173's that are auctioned these days are slabbed, so I don't think it's a bad idea to have them graded. Yes, you probably can get the auction house to pick up the tab for you. But I think you should have them done. These look to be in the VG-EX/EX range, and getting them in 50 or 60 holders will help you.
