RE: Sending off to be graded!
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!

RE: Sending off to be graded!
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.

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