I HAVE CUT A FEW OZZIE CARDS OUT AND AM CONSIDERING SENDING TO PSA. THESE SEEM RARE, BUT WONDERING IF THEY ARE WORTH THE COST OF GRADING IF THEY WOULD COME BACK A PSA 8, 9, OR 10. THOUGHTS? MY OTHER QUESTION IS WHAT IS THE VALUE DIFFERENCE IN THE WHITE BACK AND PINK BACK, IF ANY. THANKS FOR ANY INPUT ON REPLI-CARDS AND GRADING THEM. 

You're referring to this card?

There is one that is a PSA 6 on eBay right now, with a starting bid of $5.95 (no bids).

Raw cards seem to rarely go for more than a few bucks, if that.

The cheapest rate for PSA is $19 per card and requires a minimum submission of 20 cards.

You can draw your own conclusions based on your actual quantity (is "a few" 3? 5? 10?) but it's going to cost you $380 for submissions alone. If you have 5 cards that come back as 10's, you'd have to average about $75.00 each card to make your money back (rough math, but again, we're estimating).

In my opinion? No. Absolutely not worth it.

They might seem rare due to near complete lack of demand.  Incidentally, there are two versions of the Ozzie Canseco, one with a white back, and one with a pink back.  Pretty sure the pink is the version that came in the magazine and the white was a promo or replacement card or something.

Don't do it

That math is hard to argue with, jasongerman9. 

Thank you all for your feedback. Pretty much makes my decision easy. Any experience with star cards from these magazines? Seems to be some decent value. I have a few going into PSA as we speak. We'll see. Thanks again
