| Can you guys recommend a reputable sports card grading company. I have a few hundred football cards from the late 1970's that I bought as a kid. They have spent most of their entire life in a box. I think the only ones really worth anything are the Walter Payton rookie cards. I have three of those, two in excellent shape. I'd like to have them graded. |

I think PSA is the more respected one as well. Here is a link to their forum.... http://forums.collectors.com/categories.cfm?catid=11
I would look to Ebay and look up different graded versions of the card you areinterested in getting graded and see what the grades go for. The huge jump is between a perfect 10 and a lesser 9.....and the 10 is tough to get. If it doesn't have a very strong chance of a 10 it may not be worth the expense of grading unfortunately. Guys will post scans of cards and ask the guys on the forum for grading advice to see if it has a shot at a high grade. |
