I agree with most comments so far, though I think what Paul said is no way stating a preference toward paying 10X-20x for higher grade cards. I think the point is that grading does help the buyer weed out some of the scammers like Battlefield who would have listed those Cobbs raw, as "NM+++++ EXTRAORDINARY!!!! BLAZER!!!"

Your cards are absolutely gorgeous Orlando, no question. The "3" simply informs a perspective buyer there is some sort of otherwise hidden flaw. That said, I think most of us here would be more than happy to pay the lower price for those cards (thank a 6 or 7), and live with their "flaws".
