The sports card market is absolutely booming right now. I sold off enough of my other stuff to buy this. There are only 10 of them. It is indescribably beautiful.
I don't think this is a smart idea for these grading companies to be so God damn expensive, especially when you're gonna have to wait like half a year. I could see one of the smaller/less used companies swooping in and making a name for themselves if they were smart about it. [Reply]

These cards are for me, not reselling them, a couple of Namaths, Lew Alcindor (before he changed his name), Maravich and Willie Mays. I’ll be curious to see what grades they get.
It is an odd business. If you have ten tens. Don't send them all together. They will grade lower because they won't grade all of them as tens. Split the order, that way your true tens get graded as such.
I also have a friend that will fix or wax cards before grading. Thought it was bs until I saw them back graded. If he doesn't like the grade he just breaks them and resends until he gets the rating he wants.
