I am currently selling a friend's collection that he inherited from his father and Grandfather,

I would loke to get some of these cards graded. I have already picked some to submit but I have a question on one of the cards. 1961 Topps Gil Hodges. Card looks to be in Mint condition but is off centered quite a bit. I was wondering if it would be worth grading or sell as is?

Probably the best way to think about it is that cards tend to grade down to their weakness. This card is sharp but yes off center every which way and nearly miscut on the back. There are plenty of cards that would be worth grading with this kind of centering, but this probably is not one of them.

On ebay for 19.99 looks too good to be true. What do you think?

@davescards1975 I've found pretty good success with selling cards raw lately. Especially, high number/high series cards. Seems like there are more raw set builders looking for the high numbers to fill out/upgrade their set builds. Good luck.
