How do I value a card when submitting for grading?
#1

How do I value a card when submitting for grading?
Hello,

I am new on here and rather new to collecting Baseball cards. I have come into a rather large collection of cards and am interested in submitting several for grading.

When it asks about the value of the card, is it what I think it might be worth by looking on PSA or EBAY and comparing or is there a method to it?

Also, What is the best way to decide which cards I should submit? .. by age? year? Player?

Sorry if these are "simpleton" questions, just trying to learn.

Thanks for any help.

Any on line price guide, like Beckett can help..few to choose from.
Compare past sales on ebay and other sites to determine the approximate prices.
Rarer cards consider the population of graded cards.
Then determine if a card is worth grading.  cost/benefit ratio.

Lower serial #ed cards can be graded, but if there are only 1-3 made..the price differential may be minimal.

They want you to guesstimate what the card will be worth once graded. Don't low-ball the estimate or they will upcharge you.

As far as what you should/shouldn't grade don't ever grade base paper anything unless it's for a PC and you just want to protect it. I only grade RC's of guys who have a proven hobby standing after 2-3 yrs. ala Ohtani, Soto, Acuna etc... outside of that autos /50 or less again has to be someone hobby relevant doesn't matter how good they are in real life if the hobby doesn't like them ir's not going to be worth it.

I want to know how I value a card when submitting for grading and for that I am looking for a solution online and I am glad I found your post where I found my answer. While searching for it online, I also found casinosanalyzer website link where I found boku casino gaming sites through which I can easily make money while staying at home only. If you also want to earn real money by playing online real money games, then I can share that website link with you as well.
