Collector's notes
As a vintage issue, condition is everything — most surviving copies show wear from decades of handling, which is why high-grade examples command such dramatic premiums over raw copies.
Baseball card collecting runs deep — set builders, player collectors, and investors all compete for the same key cards.
Is it worth grading?
With raw copies near $2,059.55 and top grades reaching $102,981.00, grading a sharp copy of this card can clearly pay for itself — the spread comfortably covers a typical ~$25.00 grading fee. The catch: only submit copies with strong centering, clean corners, and unmarked surfaces, because anything below a 9 usually erases the math.
When choosing a grader, PSA slabs typically resell fastest, BGS rewards truly pristine copies, and SGC/CGC offer faster turnarounds — compare each label's value in the grade table above.
