Keep the cards, especially vintage and rare ones. Who needs someone dictating the value? Back then, we knew already its value.Business Cards Onlinehttp://www.digitalroom.com/busines-cards-online.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3022654356144175309.post-86917330964250765092009-03-24T21:02:00.000-07:002009-03-24T21:02:00.000-07:00So true.

When I left the hobby many years ago, grading wasn't really an issue, so upon returning, my views on what/when to grade weren't so clear. Your opinions make a lot of sense to me and are helping me form myUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03561324339282908251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3022654356144175309.post-4753222863606535502009-03-24T10:44:00.000-07:002009-03-24T10:44:00.000-07:00Rob, I have to disagree.

There is no super premium, it may be slightly higher.Gellmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07819780003574759214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3022654356144175309.post-16087949864034114502009-03-24T10:15:00.000-07:002009-03-24T10:15:00.000-07:00I agree with everything but one thing.

I think the idea was to have something similar to stamps and coins, whatever.<BR/><BR/>I've only had a couple graded items in my possession, and they do not stay that way for long. I don't care if it's a gem mint 10 cy young rookie card. Get it out of that biased, arbitrary case.<BR/><BR/>Guck Frading.--Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03884046413767054746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3022654356144175309.post-81483929446012769992009-03-24T09:22:00.000-07:002009-03-24T09:22:00.000-07:00Excellent post.

For instance, last week I saw a BGS 9 2007 Exquisite Peterson rookie going for $5,000!!! As if the BGS grade makes it worth that much more! LOLZ!!!<BR/><BR/> I only grade vintage cards that I'm 95% sure will get a 7 or better. It's pointless Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
