The Jackson is listed at $60 there.

lol... yeah, my bad. But I don't understand. It says (unless I'm wrong, and I probably am) on their website that it costs 17 dollars to get a card graded? So why wouldn't it be worth a shot? I'd still make 40 dollars if it came back a 10 right?

Man, this is so much more confusing than the old beckett based, ungraded mint and N-mint days of my youth lol

First off, those values are for a card graded a 10. As I said in my other post, I don't think you'll come close to a 10, at best an 8. Then if you would have looked at the three grades listed in the PSA price guide, values drop substantially below a 10. There is no way you are gonna recoup any value if the cards come back at a 9 or below. Sorry, but value for late '80's cards just isn't there since they made so many of them. Even if you would be able to get in a group submission, I don't think you'll cover grading cost, postage etc. with less than a 10.

Ok, thanks. Yeah, I know cards from that era don't hold much value below a 10... and most don't even have much value then. The 1986 cards, for some reason (guessing it's how horribly cut they were) actually DO have some big hits, particularly the Nolan Ryan and Sandberg cards and these cards looked pretty clean. I guess grading standards are a lot more rigorous than I thought.

I read if someone wants to collect cards from that era (84-91) that they should go after graded tiffany parallels. I wish I had known about them when I was a kid. I would have bought every damn set lol
