Grading Help
|
Hey guys, I was thinking about getting some of my prospect cards graded. I've never done grading before so I had a question. There's a few cards that look really good, in my opinion, that I plan on sending off. I was wondering if I sent them off, and they came back as a 9, would it be worth less or more than a raw card? Thanks...

I've been considering the same, and it looks to me like higher profile cards/players will still sell for enough to make back your money for grading and the price of the card, often more. I'm considering buying a case and having some graded, obviously it would be costly so I'm wondering in everyone's experience what percent of brand new cards in a non-condition sensitive product come back Gem? I would probably be grading 20 cards or so.
SGC has a special this month 5 dollars a cards.. plus the shipping back and forth.
I am lucky enough to work in the same building as them.. just dropped off 6 cards this week..no shipping and I can pick them up
Finder's Fee for these cards if I obtain them(NO EBAY or COMC).

Obviously the older it is, the longer it has been handled, etc. will reduce the odds.
I don't want to send a card off to get graded, and if it comes back less than a 9.5, be worth less. Do people find that this is the case? I notice 9.5 always go really high, I've never really seen a BGS 10. But does a 9 make it worth more or less?

I don't much expect to get a 10, obviously would be great. As far as the original post, I think it depends on your intent. If selling, 9's seem to do fine if the card is hot. Otherwise you might not get the cost of the card+grading back. I would imagine Harper platinums will do allright at 9 for the first few weeks. If its for your PC, just decide if its worth it to you if it comes back a 9. (08-05-2011, 04:01 PM)dlcarst Wrote: What about 9.5? I don't much expect to get a 10, obviously would be great.

I may just send off the refractor versions that look like they could get a higher grade.

Anyone have an approximate idea what percentage come back 9.5 or better?
I recently sent some off to get graded. I just looked over the card; corners, edges and centering, and sent them in. I only got 1 8.5, the rest were 9's and 9.5's. Just make sure no corners are chipped and the edges are in decent condition. I think centering is pretty easy to tell for the most part. Good luck. Also, if you scan the cards and put them on here, there are a few guys that can tell you if it's worth grading. They are really helpful here. Good luck on your submissions.
