jwsanderson Posted June 17, 2021 Report Share Posted June 17, 2021 We have a 1986 Topps 161 Jerry Rice Rookie Card which (to my eyes) looks to be in mint condition. I've seen prices range widely on what it sells for so I do not know what submission type to submit it for. Is there a person we contact before sending the card to pick the right submission? (Scratches in picture are to the case, this card was put into this case immediately after purchase) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good resources for determining the value of your cards are completed eBay auctions and the posted prices of large sports card dealers. It doesn't have to be exact, but a realistic average estimate would work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jday68 Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 Hey there, I just clicked on the completed/sold listings on ebay and this is what came up. Looks like 7-7.5 is the popular grade from csg even though that doesn’t mean much. IMO, Rice is retired so you don’t have to worry and watch his upcoming season. Because it’s not a time sensitive issue, I would go with either Express or even Standard if you’re willing to wait. Walkthrough doesn’t make much sense because you’d have to hope for an 8+ to make any kind of money. One thing I’ve quickly learned…collectors love their subgrades. Be sure to include that add on for $9. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damonb Posted July 1, 2021 Report Share Posted July 1, 2021 It doesn’t really matter the value is only for insurance purposes you can put whatever you want basically just take a guess as for the service level use whichever suits your pocketbook but I would suggest sending that card express. For just the one it will come out to be $92 total with shipping. And you will have it back in 2-3 weeks. I have one on way back that was entered on 6/16 just so you can have a reference. Also if it’s your first order be sure to call accounting at csg to update your payment info or it will hold you up until you do hitmasterflips and PunsRTonsOfFun 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3lewsers Posted July 1, 2021 Report Share Posted July 1, 2021 estimated value is based on the raw card value, not its worth after its graded. PunsRTonsOfFun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hitmasterflips Posted July 9, 2021 Report Share Posted July 9, 2021 (edited) Thank you Damonb for the advice on calling accounting for the first submission. I just called and sure enough my credit card had to be added and I had a return ship invoice pending.
