It's a cool effect that would be impossible to replicate once graded. When displaying or sharing your cards with others, do you show them this in person or do you just show them a picture? If it's just a picture then I'd grade, but if you like to play the whole,"Bet you've never seen this before", parlor trick game, I'd just keep them raw.

I don't show off cards too often in person and thinking about it, I've had them 11 years and I'm pretty sure I'm the only person who has seen them(in person) put together like that. The people who see my cards are family or close friends and most of them want to see my Babe Ruth cards...which I have zero of. The Dots Miller cards get more attention than any others, so cards like these have close to zero interest for family/friends.

I have often wondered if I could get my Tinker, Evers and Chance T206's in a single graded slab. Right now they're bunched together pretty closely in a screw-down. Still looks pretty cool. Harry Steinfeldt didn't fit.

This is exactly the kind of minor ingenuity I think this situation needs. With a bit of thinking you could figure out a cool DIY display yourself, or ask other resourceful members of the forum -- I've seen their photos. This way, you get the best of both worlds, ie, you obviously love playing with the cards on occasion so why get them graded unless you want to sell?

If interested, I believe we at BVG could do this (put them all in a single slab with seals in between the cards to prevent movement).

I wouldn't grade them. I might make high res copies and make a framed display.

Just wondering, how would the grade on the slab read if the cards were technically different? Or 3 separate grades?

I'd have to see how it looks/works with something else. I think the seals would break the cards up too much, so it didn't have that partial sheet feel to it. Message me about it.

That might be something more people are interested in as well. I bet someone with all four of the Cobbs would like something like that, or as someone else said, the Cubs infield
