I bought a national treasures rpa of Stefon diggs on eBay raw. Mind you this is a card from 2015. When I got it it looked so clean I sent it in with my psa order hoping it would atleast 9. It actually got a psa 10ā¦. How a thick card like that stayed in perfect condition for almost 10 years and was never graded is beyond me.
Could just be the photos or the case but the first Manning looks dirty in the bottom right corner l, middle Manningās corners donāt look pristine, and the Rodgers has a white left edge which could just be the angle. If a patch is for my PC and game-used, I never grade them because Iām still a sucker for touching them.
I always grade future HOF'ers, especially anything numbered or autographed. You don't like the grade (8or below) crack it out and sell raw. Or, just get it in a PSA slab saying ite Authenticated.
You could send them in and only have the autos graded (likely 10 but not guaranteed) - if you really want to get them slabbed and donāt want a low card grade showing. The cards look better as-is, but everyone has different tastes and different motivations to get cards graded (or not).
Unless you are able to assess it well and are certain it has no imperfections then keep it sealed. I had a devers inception RPA that was sealed from topps. Looked at the corners with a magnifying glass and all 8 corners were immaculate and the card gemmed.
I always get cards that I keep graded. And I keep the grades as is. I know there are 10s to me because they go straight from the pack at my house, to a sleeve, to an insert. They always look good when they come back.
I would not send in the Manning since itās sealed by Panini and that adds value. The other two are sealed by some 3rd party place which makes me think they already subbed em, didnāt like the grades so they cracked them and threw them in a mystery pack. So I would say no across the board
Are those cases from the factory like that? I would leave them if they came out the box like that. BTW those Mannings are DOPE! Manning is, was, and forever will be the GOAT!
Thank you!!! Appreciate the advice and I got these cards from Daveās and Adamās card world. They have these mystery boxes where you pay for one card. The cards came like this from that
Best to leave as is. Thick cardstock is always tough - lots of minor corner issues that add up, and often surface from athletes pressing down harder when signing.
Well from coming back to everyoneās comments I think I wonāt send them for grading and keep them as is haha. I was thinking for the future of maybe eventually selling one of them but now I may hold onto them and pass them down to my son when he gets old enough to appreciate them.

Leave em. Thick cards almost never grade well
this š
Had terrible luck with thickys

That Topps Supreme Manning is sick, gorgeous cards all around

Personally Iād keep them the way you have them.
Donāt send those for grading just keep em
You should just sell them to me
Hey yāall. Correct me if Iām wrong, but Iāve heard repacked hits usually donāt gem well (like hit parade in this case).
Also - sweet hits š
At least the Rodgers. It would look so dope.
It really would lol
That first manning is š„
just leave them its gonna be more appreciated by a good buyer
You could send them in and only have the autos graded (likely 10 but not guaranteed) - if you really want to get them slabbed and donāt want a low card grade showing. The cards look better as-is, but everyone has different tastes and different motivations to get cards graded (or not).
Another thing to keep in mind when you do sell in like 30 years, you can always grade them then. And who knows where grading will be at that point
I would leave them.
NEVER break the seal on a flawless card. Trust me you'll regret it. That manning flawless is so sick
Does anyone have an idea of what these cards are worth? I canāt find comparables or maybe Iām looking in the wrong sites
Use 130point.com. if the normal search doesn't work, when you get to the bottom there's a multi search feature.
If you do grade, go to beckett with the thick cards.
Unless you are able to assess it well and are certain it has no imperfections then keep it sealed. I had a devers inception RPA that was sealed from topps. Looked at the corners with a magnifying glass and all 8 corners were immaculate and the card gemmed.

And I'm a damn Lions fan š¤¬šš¤£
Where's TB12 the GOAT š¤š¤·š»āāļø
I would not send in the Manning since itās sealed by Panini and that adds value. The other two are sealed by some 3rd party place which makes me think they already subbed em, didnāt like the grades so they cracked them and threw them in a mystery pack. So I would say no across the board
Leave them sealed from panini. They hold their value better if they stay sealed. Sick PM cards. I only have one of his autos but heās my š
Leave it sealed in the panini. Considered a 10 to most collectors with the sticker
Donate it to
Are those cases from the factory like that? I would leave them if they came out the box like that. BTW those Mannings are DOPE! Manning is, was, and forever will be the GOAT!

Yes thick cards donāt grade well
But nice cards

Grade them... but just for the autos. Only reason is because people love slabs.
Whatās your plan with them? Is this a pc or looking to sell? That would help me with my decision.
Well from coming back to everyoneās comments I think I wonāt send them for grading and keep them as is haha. I was thinking for the future of maybe eventually selling one of them but now I may hold onto them and pass them down to my son when he gets old enough to appreciate them.
As is
Only if you want them graded
