Buy/Sell/Trade Forum

I just pulled a 2015 Topps Career High Sandy Koufax autographed card.  I primarily collect Phillies cards and memorabilia so this is not of the utmost interest to me.  What's the best option for moving this?  I plan on getting it graded of course.  Is Ebay my best option?  Perhaps someone on this site is interested? 

Why imprison it?

I'm with vroomed. It's basically self-authenticating. I assume it's in basically mint condition because it's new. Sure, ebay it. You should do well.

If i had the spare spending money i would make you an offer since he is one of my favorites of all time, but ebay will probably get you the most. I agree with the others for a brand new card and with a Topps authentication no need to get it graded.  If you do, use PSA as many of the other grading companies tend to have bad reputations.

I was under the impression that it would be more valuable to a collector if it was graded?  Like the gentleman said, it's mint condition, brand new.  As soon as I saw what it was I put it in a plastic sleeve.  I guess I'll try Ebay and see if I can find a good home for it. 

I'm with the others. And personally, as a collector I don't like slabbed cards. I've bought a few slabbed cards because they were such a great deal. Then I either trade them for an unslabbed copy or bust them out so I can put them in my binders.

I'm not an expert (but I've been around a while), but from my experiences, newer cards really don't hold much of a premium when graded as the "vintage" stuff does. You could spend the $7.99 (or whatever it is) to get it graded, but you may not see that in the final price. It's pretty much assumed that anything post-2000 (and maybe even post-1990?) is Mint (or at least NM). I have bought cards from 1985 to present sight unseen, assuming at least NM condition. Anything coming out of a pack these days should score a 9. Unless you're looking at a guaranteed 10, and you want to take your chances 25-40 yerars from now... No? Then sell it on ebay. And please, post a link here when you do. It looks like a gorgeous card! :) Only question - Is it an on-card auto, or on a sticker?

Guys,

This is all great information and I appreciate it.  As a novice collector I'm not savvy to what others are most interested in yet.  If someone on this board has an interest I'd be happy to work with them.  Thank you for your help.

Bob, I just checked ebay, and this seems to be selling for around $200. Nice find!
