not sure on the value of the cards themselves, but WCG is a junk grading company- their grades dont really give cards the extra value that the more reputable grading companies do. Off the top of my head, Id say you overpaid, but Im not sure what the raw value of the cards you bought are

Thanks for the info Ed, would it be possible or smart to get a reputable grade company to rate the cards? What are the best rating companies out there?

thanks again Mike

[palantri]

if you want to grade them, go with PSA or BGS- but Id look very carefully at the cards first, because the cheaper grading companies give a lot more 10 grades than do PSA or BGS, so you may not get the 10 grade if you go with the more reputable companies- however, collectors are much more likely to trade for an 8 or a 9 from a reputable company than they are to trade for a 10 from a junk grading company

I think you did well with those cards.

Thanks Matthew I did some research, the LJAS 2004 card is an error card, its going for over $150 on the net.
