Building a Set... Which Way to Cross?

I say PSA, to me those look brighter in the all clear slab. I hate the crinkly crap in the Young slab though. Nice cards!!

[glchen]

I'd leave it as is. These are rare cards so I doubt there'd be a premium going to either TPG. Unless there's a pinhole that I'm not seeing in the T216 Wagner 2b, I would look into possibly flipping that card to SGC (or cracking out and re-submitting to PSA). That card looks undergraded.

leave them in the holders they are in and spend the extra coin on more cards.

nice cards Eric....

Jim,

The crossover cost isn't that much. I'm thinking that I'd like to be able to add them to a registry somewhere as I work on the set.

I've actually got quite a few more that are raw that will need to go to the grader that the others cross over to.

[cfc1909]

in that case you need to choose SGC.

No need to rush to a decision. Maybe just wait until you go to sell them.

If most of your set is either graded poor/authentic or raw, would an option be to put them in top loaders so they all look the same? Like Jim R said, then you can put more $ into cards. If they will only be on display and people won't be handling them, the holders don't seem to offer much advantage other than a registry, in which case the question to ask yourself is "which registry is better".

Perhaps you could get them professionally framed with UV protection coating on the glass?

Good luck with your decision, they are beautiful cards you have!

leave them as is.
they're in decent protectors and look fine and safe.
i wouldn't put any more money toward the grading companies.
all the best,
