Those are some good cards not even graded! Hope you get good grades on them. What are you hoping for?

They were all in excellent condition, I tried to upload pictures but my Internet connection was horrible. Hopefully tonight it will allow!

I have never done the graded thing. But I have been thinking about it recently. I've been contemplating sending some off, especially 50s and 60s. I don't want to send off any newer stuff that will come back less than a 9 and don't want to send off any 60s and older that will come back less than a 6-7. Just doesn't seem worth it when you factor in a $12-$15 grading per card.

I haven't seen your cards, so this next statement is not meant toward you in any way. But I can't understand why people send cards off to get graded that they have no business sending off. Those would be anything 1980 and newer that would come back less than an 8 or 9 and anything 60s and older that would come back less than 6. I see PSA 4s, BGS 5s on 50s and 60s stuff all the time and it just doesn't seem worth it.

I also see other cards on other sites (ebay, etc) all the time that have been sent off and come back as a 1, 2, or 3 or possibly even a 0. Most of the lower grade stuff is tobacco type cards or 40s and older. Why even send them off if they're going to come back a 2-3 or less. Just doesn't make sure.

Hopefully your cards come back with a nice, high grade.

I'm quite curious on the Ozzie, those are so terribly centered there are literally only a handful of gems out there. Even 9's go for big bucks.

Nice, 9 or above and they will shoot up in value.

You probably know this, but it's OC bottom to top & right to left.

Yes I'm well aware. I'm mostly grading it so it won't get damaged. I'm collecting, not selling my cards
