I have a box of well over 150 cards that I plan to send off to be graded in increments as I have the cash to do so.

A good bit of it is cards from the 60s and early 70s with a few 50s in there. Also in there is a good bit of low printed cards from sets like National Treasures. In addition I have my 84 Topps cards, Elway and Marino to send off (The Elway is in a PSA holder and needs to be cross graded).

Other than that the rest of the cards hold a BV of at least 10 dollars (as of the time I put it aside in the card saver). Whenever BGS releases their weekly specials I'll browse my general collection to check for any midvalue cards that fit the bill and consider sending them off as well.

I am curious to hear what my fellow collectors use as their criteria for sending off their cards. I am a private collector, seldom trade, and never sell anything from my collection. I use the vintage grading based on advice from a fellow collector who assured me it was the right thing to do for preservation.

What say you?

Well on the plus side with the June special I can send my Elway off for a cheap cross grade.
