I've been struggling to find unopened packs at affordable prices. I accumulated a bunch of extras but since I haven't had any luck trading, I've decided to try to sell some of the extra ones on ebay and maybe buy a few that I need.
So far, so good. I picked up one 1971 Football unopened pack. Of course, that is one set that I will not likely ever complete since every pack with cost more than $20.
I plan to keep the cards in the wrappers, even if the wrappers are not perfect.
Does anyone know what criteria are used to grade a pack? Do they look at the card at all or just the pack - color, borders, etc.?
What would make it worth it to grade a pack? I cannot imagine that there would be a lot of interest in a common player in the pack, even if it graded as a 10.
With higher grading prices the last few years, will any of these cards get graded other than the big $ ones?
I'm not an expert on grading, especially pack grading. But I'd imagine they look at the wrapper condition and check to see if the pack has been tampered with. I'm not sure I'd ever submit a pack to be graded, but if I did... it would probably feature my favorite player (like my 1983 Topps rack pack with Gwynn showing).
ReplyDeleteI am not likely to submit any either.
