Anyone into Baseball Cards? I am a junk wax era fan myself! But have been getting into cleaning and grading cards recently. If you like cards, which era/graded not graded/personal collection or selling? Hope everyone's Fourth went smoothly!

I have boxes upon boxes, all 70s and 80s , just went through them over the winter put everything in top loaders
it was like a full time job it took weeks lol

Nice! All PC (Personal Collection)? Ever think about getting some of them graded?

I just went through mine about a year ago, and completely agree takes a long time to do it the right way. Penny sleeve and top loader then in a box for top loaders. That's my goto now for card collecting.

I thought about grading but i don't think its feasible to grade hundreds of cards, the grading process is long and expensive ,you have to have a no brainer like a hall of fame rookie or a mint error card or something like that

You can pretty much eye a card to like a grade 7 (if it looks mint) then after that it gets real technical, cards right out of the pack usually dont make a 7

There is so much tech with the margins, color and stamping its like a machine shop building a motor
I would have to sell them as a near mint un-graded lot
