Does it make any difference if I grade this?

I agree. There is no downside - other than the grading fee and shipping/insurance costs. The upside is: (1) You can easily store it with your other slabbed cards; (2) It is better protected; and (3) surely, the slab will clue your family in that it has value when yougo to that big card show in the sky one day.

Great card by the way!

Thanks everybody for the great advice! I found this in a box with my other postcards recently and had forgotten I had it. When I looked up a value for SGC I was surprised.

We decided not to grade it. I can keep it between a couple graded Cobb Exhibit cards and it will be safe. When the time comes for my wife to sell it, she has an old dealer friend who can help.

Grading at SGC looks like 275 including return shipping. Getting it there is the hard part. USPS lost the last card I sold and insurance was a struggle. I don't want that again!

Anyway thanks again. You guys helped a lot!
