Walmart in Hanover Park- 19/20 UD series one mega box. Still on card shelf. Possible Hughes rookie but I highly doubt it. Bought the other one and got shit like it was searched. Warned

Target in Streamwood- 19/20 UD series two tin. Possible Dach rookie. Might go buy this one. Bottom shelf way in the back.

Meijer takes back opened blasters. If the plastic looks bound up like it was resealed with a lighter, don't waste your money. I got burned two years ago from Meijer blasters before someone learned me all this.

Right now? Ebay 100%. There's too many people on there looking for cards and ebay was pretty much built around sport card sales.

If you have nice stuff, do get them graded and make as much money as you can. If you have a Mike trout rookie raw get it graded and maximize your money.

I won't buy anything off eBay unless it's graded. There's so many fakes out there right now the best thing is paying the 15 bucks so it's slabbed authentic.

When you send a card or cards in to get graded how do you know you get your card back

I gave away my whole collection to my nephews. Didn’t think that crap was worth anything and wanted to get them into sports instead of always having to watch little kid shit on tv

You will PSA. I've never had an issue with them.

BGS? I had a card numbered 3/5 that came back to me 5/5.

That's a great question tho

Pick out the ones that are valuable, really, really look at them.

Centering of the picture. It has to be perfect. The corners, the edges. They have to look like they just came out a pack unless they are 1960 and back.

Any cars older then 1960 I would get graded, even the commons.

Post up some pictures!! I'd love to see them!!

Was that the box set where you had a chance of getting autographs?

I think I put the set together through individual packs. There were autographed cards but I didn't get any. I think there were also some plastic cards that I didn't get.

I found blasters of WWE shit on clearance and pulled a Fandango auto.

I really can't be mad.

I have a 1952 Mickey Mantle from Tops. Is it worth anything?

I have most of a 1964 Topps baseball set, but not in good enough condition to pay for them to be graded. I learned that anything Mickey Mantle brings $, but most others, including HOFers aren't worth much in good condition.

I thought perhaps the HOF players who have passed this year (4 of the 6 played in 1964) would fetch something, but there are dozens listed at very low prices.

I thought the Lou Brock as a Cub (I also have Ernie Broglio as a Cardinal) would be worth something, but "something" is very little.

Everything with Mantle seems to bring a whole lot more than comparable stars. (This from a decidedly non-expert at baseball card values)

I may actually have several worth grading -

If sending cards to be graded, do they need to be sent separately?

What is the wait time to have them graded and returned? I thought it was rather long. (though I began considering having them graded a year ago, so.....my own fault.)
