better to keep them stored properly and prevent the yellowing altogether...So basically its better to get the cards graded sooner than later as they will still have yellowing over age but get the grades when they were submitted
you can prevent it. thats why we have cards well over 50 years without discoloration...alot of my cards from the 90s have zero yellowing.You cant prevent yellowing. It will happen with age as well. It's uniform. I will see how it goes thanks for everyone's advice

you have to store them in cool/dark conditions, preferably airtight. handling the card directly also increases the chances.
thats why i mentioned storing them airtight. but yes, all cards will discolor with age if theyre just kept in a folder on your shelf.I would really love to see some examples! Photos on the net without any sort of stock comparison or 20% grey chart could very well (and almost likely) to be automatic level adjustment by either the digital camera or software. Paper yellows primarily because of oxygen and the cheap paper used in most cards pre 1990's is even more susceptible.
It would be fascinated to see the earliest example of a BGS or PSA card slabbed to see what sort of effect their sealing process has.
G’day,
I have recently became hooked on collected cards ( manly NBA). I am in no rush to sell any of them but I was thinking of grading a few. I did spend a small fortune on the Shaquille O’Neal redemption card. I thought of grading this card in particular but when I spoke to Cherry collectibles, they say it did not hold much value. However I have seen these cards online go for anywhere between 200 and 500 ( graded) what is everyone’s thoughts?
The other card I have is the Michael Jordan ironic fleer slam dunk card from 1990.
Post some pics if you can mate. Might give us a better idea and we can point you in the right direction
the shaq would only go as high as that if it graded 10. the problem with grading base cards is even if they come back a 10, you may not make back the amount you spent to get them graded...unless i was 100% sure i was getting a 10, i would never grade a card worth only a few bucks. of course thats only relevant if youre looking to sell. if its just for a PC, then it dont matter anyway.G’day,

Attached are both the O’Neal and Jordan cards and I have a kobe bryant card also. Any input would be great.
The Shaq if it's in good condition is definitely worth grading and sells well for sure.
MJ while its an awesome card is readily available and doesn't sell too well.
Kobe again while its a nice card youd be wasting $ on grading
Thanks for all the reply’s. Yeah it’s in very good nick. Corners are perfect and surface as well, ( to me anyway not sure how they grade them). I am assuming Beckett is the way to go? Would I have to order online and send it directly to the US myself?
