Grade my cards!
Baseball card grading is tricky, but this
commonly used grading system [see below] will help you 'grade' your own
cards. Card grading is required to establish true baseball
card values. If you want a dealer to buy your baseball cards as 'graded',
it must be done by one of the professional sports card grading companies
whose methods are accepted by sports card dealers. (Still,
most dealers will personally examine any valuable baseball
cards before they decide to buy.)
On the other hand, many dealers – including Baseball Card
Buyer – also buy ungraded cards. In that case, they
make their own professional evaluation about grade before buying any baseball
card.
