1974 Kellogg's Cards #01 - #09 - PSA

I mentioned that I picked up a few low-numbered Kellogg's cards over the weekend.  It seems like the first nine crack more than the others.  Was it due to more people storing them in nine-pocket pages? 

I decided to check on PSA to see if there are any noticeable differences in 9s and 10s. 

Here is a breakdown of 10s from PSA. 

#10s for a card        #cards in the set that fall into that range

10-19                       3    Monday (#02), Fisk (#05), Santo (#07)
20-29                       3    Gibson (#01),  Coleman (#03), Ryan (#08)
30-39                       4    Campaneris (#04), Luzinski (#09), Otis (#17), Allen (#33)
40-49                       6
50-59                      12
60-69                       5     Palmer (#06)
70-79                       3
80-89                       5
90-99                       4
100+                        9

Of the 54 cards, 12 different ones have had 50-59 10s.  All of the other stars in the set have more 10s than Palmer except Blyleven who has the same number - 64. 

Palmer is the only aberration.  I imagine it would be difficult to decide if a regular card were good enough to send away for grading.  It seems much worse to figure out if a 3-D card should be graded.  I would probably need to consult with someone who has an eye for that if I ever decided to try getting a card graded.

    I collect graded cards, but never have submitted a card to be graded. My buddy does... and he uses this huge magnifying glass/light that is attached to his desk... and he looks at each card super closely before paying the insane prices they charge to grade.

    I guess that is the only way. Maybe guys like your friend should do a side business. They tell us which cards to send and when the grades come back we pay them a small fee.
