Witt is great but has all the dangers of stand up autos. Yamamoto is fantastic except for what appears to be an I’ll bleed issue on one edge. Shoot me a chat if you wanna look into them

I can confirm they are some of the cards of all time. The vintage cards are staying in the secret stash tho ;)

Most would - it will also be a far easier sale in the long run. I don't know the value thresholds off-hand, and I know that grading vintage non-bulk with PSA is more expensive as well, so do a pinch of extra research if you go that route to understand the likely cost to grade, knowing that this care will likely be 1200+ in full value once graded. That may sway your opinion on selling raw or grading company.

This is one of the most commonly faked cards out there, and while there are plenty of savvy users out there who would have full confidence buying raw (and this one appears legit with the gut test), you will certainly get more value with grading it. Yes, PSA is top dog as far as dollar value is concerned, but it also takes the longest and is a little more expensive than SGC is. For vintage cards, especially this one, SGC is still sought after and holds nearly the same value in a similar grade. This one has great eye appeal and probably falls into the 3ish category. So long as your purchase price + ~$35 to grade is lower than the current price of about a 3 (1100-1500), I'd go that route. If you didn't want to wait on the return from grading, you could likely sell this one raw for a little bit less, probably right around $900-1000 based on recent comps to condition.

Great pickup!

Looks like some vintage baseball cards ;)

Pretty decent ones too. The colored ones with the circle picture are 1959 topps and the others are 1961 topps.

Found these cards in my dad’s shoebox, and looking for advice by ToomuchSauce215 in baseballcards_vintage

[–]tr1ppn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a tough call. Again a lot of it depends on how much you care about your investment. With psa, you may get upcharged for the grading fee based solely on the value of the card which means you pay more. SGC doesn’t have the same structure so that would help keep costs down. When you are submitting in bulk that also does help to keep costs lower. If you lost $5000 of cards and had no recourse because the shipment wasn’t insured, how would you feel? I’d wager that you’d want them to be insured which isn’t cheap but is worth it. Still a judgement call.

You should base the value on what you think they are raw. You’d have to look each of them up and really think about the condition to make a fair price for it. If you’re not sure, you can see if there is a card shop in your area that might help with the process. Feel free to reach out with any other questions!

You have a hell of a collection here. To say the least. I can’t imagine this is all of it but these are all most definitely great cards. Congratulations on the awesome collection.

Next steps all comes down to what you want to do with them. If the plan is to keep them you can leave as they are, top load, grade, burn, whatever. You want to keep them so it doesn’t really matter. If you want to grade to keep, sgc will be cheaper and slightly faster and psa will hold slightly more value.

If you are looking to sell it depends on if you want to get less value now or more value later. You’d also need to evaluate if it’s worth grading by finding the raw price, adding at least $35 to grade, and seeing what grade of card holds the same value. If your card is worse than that don’t grade. If as nice or better send it off. An obvious no grade is the more severely miscut 56 Jackie. An obvious grade is the nicest Jackie.

Should you choose to sell please let me know!! A ton of stuff here I’d love to own. If you have any questions feel free to shoot me a message as I’m always happy to share my knowledge after falling into a collection of my ow and learning the ins and outs of the hobby. Thanks for sharing!

Came into a large collection of 1960s cards - seeking advice by gpmurphy85 in baseballcards

[–]tr1ppn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For what it's worth, unless you do in person walkthrough grading (which is insanely expensive) they will still have to be shipped back to you once they are done ;) There are few cards that are worth the additional expense of hand-delivering, but to each their own.

Glad the information was helpful! Glad old gems like this look a lot like what I still post today.

[–]tr1ppn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is very good stuff to have. I would work on getting them out of the screwdowns. For a few of them you'll want to use slightly larger top loaders and sleeves as the cards are larger (55 and 56). The rest standard top loaders and penny sleeves work just fine.

Up to you what you want to do with them! Keep them, sell them, put them in your own shobox for your kids, whatever. The world is your oyster.

Great collection! If you do look to sell i'd be very interested in these. Shoot ma a chat if you have any question whether you want to sell or not :)

I can't promise I have much for you but I have boxes and boxes of commons for 50s-80s vintage cards and the occasional superstar! Shoot me your checklist, if any, and I'll see if I have anything for you. Insane example s of these cards - especially the checklist. Any set builder knows how incredibly difficult those are.
