eBay and auction houses like Mastro, REA, etc. are often your best sources for high grade vintage. Dealers are good, but you will usually pay a premium for their services. Submitting raw and hoping to get 8's or better is a crapshoot at best and as high-grade, raw vintage dries up, becomes more increasingly difficult. (Although 1951 Red Backs are fairly plentiful in top-notch condition.) |

As a newbie we'll give a little slack on the year as '51 is close. I did change the FAQ's to RULES today so more folks would know what the forum is all about. regards |

While I agree that '51 Redbacks are plentiful, they are very prone to small paper wrinkles that will hammer the technical grade. If you're looking for 8's and 9's (IMO 10's are gifts, so don't count on them) your best bet is to buy them already graded. Submitting high grade raw and having them come back as 5's will leave you very frustrated, and poor. And if you are buying graded check them carefully, sometimes those little wrinkles have a way of disappearing just before they are submitted and then coming back later down the line. |

I've always been mystified why they would grade a card that has been torn in half. Granted, they are perforated, but still, you have to tear the card in half to get an individual player. If you did this to 1941 Double Play, it would never be graded. Or how about seperating the end panels from a t202? |
