Have a few rookie cards i found going through my collection, anyone know if worth getting graded? How much do grading companies charge to grade a card like this?

[unde0087]

It will be worth something in about 20 years

[stake1]

My best guess is PSA would charge $150 to grade that card. last i knew they were running around 3 months

I wouldn't waste any money now. Hold on to it for years then you will see some money.

i think it would be good to get it graded, just to have an idea on the quality. the gem mint grade on that card is anywhere from $15-20k

someone told me use ISA grading but i never heard of them.

My point is unless you want to sell now there is zero value in a grade now because if you hold on to it for another 10 years that means jackshit. I mean these cards from a quick look I see 9.5 grades that can't even get a bit at 8k. The market is flooded with these cards. Another reason it makes zero sense to sell now or even consider selling it. The guy is still playing. Cards shoot up in price as the years pass after retirement because less cards are available. You don't sell in a market full of them. Why pay for a grade now?

[BeatTheJerk]

No more Beckett days huh where you look up the fuckin’ value of the card lol.

PSA has become an absolute joke.

[ChuckyTheGoat]

PSA has become an absolute joke.

Tell me about it. "What are they selling over there? Fuckin liquid gold?"

PSA won't be getting my $$. Feel like PSA is way over-priced. At the moment, PSA has name-recognition but that can change.

Always with the negative conclusions with you. That’s all you know & that’s all you offer it’s a very sad prospective on life.

[Snowball]

definitely going to keep pace with inflation

I have been collecting Bradys for the past 2 years don't have a rookie but just understand once he retires his cards will shoot thru the roof

[Machba]

This card sells for $1000 right now, hoping for a grade of 9 or better and it should be worth $20,000 , i have 11 cards i'm sending in to get graded . Wish me luck guys.

Getting cards graded is not selling them Jj. But i am selling a ton o shit , i've been collecting cards, wwe figures, high end transformers, he man, thundercats, voltron, hot wheels, 3a exclusives. ALL have been selling for a ton o money and i'm getting in on it while they are worth a lot. The wwe figs have gone up so much i already made all my money back and still have over 200 figs to sell. Todays days are like a collectors paradise. Puffpuffpass.

Yeah, best of luck with your investments.
I mean that.

Remember (as I'm sure you're aware) it's a supply and demand market.
What you want to make profit wise and what the market is paying needs to be strongly considered in your decisions.

[USCPHILLYGUY]

Appears the Bowman rookie cards are worth more than Fleer.

Have a Barry Bonds Rookie card. Worth about $11

Too bad Bonds was such a dickhead, Clemens too.
If those two, and other examples as well weren't such assholes their cards would be worth 100 times more than what the market is bearing.

[mikmik]

Buy and hold brady rookie

[JAKEPEAVY21]

Get it graded by PSA is my suggestion. Their graded cards command a premium in most cases. Even if you don't want to sell it anytime soon(I wouldn't), the card will be protected in the case.

[mikmik]

Try and get bowman chrome

I only want what the market says it worth WHEN i decide to sell. Right now just getting graded for the experience, always wanted to go grading route but never did it. Now that i'm in a great place and better off than i was in my 20s and 30s i'm going for the adventure. I have moss rookie autographs i'm sending and peyton manning autographs and ben roethlisberger rookie autograph. Had these cards for a long time, just went through them and found a few gems.

No need for Beckett price guide, just check current "sold listings" on Ebay...that's the best way to see what cards are going for.

There's only 316 Michael Jordan PSA 10 rookie cards compared to only 184 Tom Brady PSA 10 rookie cards.
Michael Jordan PSA 10 rookie has been sold for over a million dollars. Tom Brady PSA 10 rookie card could do the same in the future.

This is solid advise.

You know what?
You're most likely correct here, thing is I've leaned on Beckett's for ever I'm biased.
PSA is probably the way to go.

[str]

A PSA 8 sold this month for 1,250.00

A PSA 7 sold for 1,750.00 in November.

Ungraded 600-700. Who knows if they are PSA 5, 6,7,8 ?

Getting it graded is all about intent to sell and the market which swings up and down a lot lately.

Looks like the card is going down as of now but you can't control that.

It's not worth paying for a walk through grade based on resale in all probability.

Foil cards are really tough to find 9's and 10's.

My suggestion: Go to a reputable card shop and ask them for a best guess grade in their opinion. Once you have that, you can figure out what is best for you.


Look on EBAY for this exact card , then go to sold/complete listing and check the box. Final sales tell the story, not what people are asking.

Good Luck !

[Machba]

PSA it is
TY for the feedback guys

Sold on the RELIABILITY of the company . Prices to get cards graded is not an issue. Especially when i want the BEST of the BEST of the BEST.
