Hello everyone, this looks like a great forum and I thought I would first introduce myself a little bit. 42 year old male I live in the SF Bayarea. I am a huge Niners/Giants/Warriors fan, grew up here a die hard fan of all 3 teams.

A week ago I found an ad on craigslist of a guy looking to sell his entire collection. In it was 3 Jerry Rice 86 topps rookies, 2 Joe Montana rookies, and a ton of other old cards from Bay Area legends. Those are the 5 best. I boguht them all. Now here is what is crazy. 2 of the Rice's look like they have a very good chance of being graded PSA 10. The other one looks like an 8 or so. The Montanas look to me like they could be graded a 9.

I have spend a lot of time over the last few days reading about grading and checking out stuff on ebay. I would like to sell these cards for the max price I could of course but Im not sure what I should do because PSA grades the Rice rookies very harshly and incosistently. I was wondering what some of the more experienced collectors would do? Thank you in advance!
