Card price increase with grading?
I was just wandering if there was a consensus on the average price increase for graded cards? Is there a difference between popular and not so popular cards?
Right now I am looking for anything of Peyton Manning, Marshall Faulk, Marvin Harrison and also mid/high end auto/gu cards of Andre Dawson
Also collecting 1991 Topps Desert Shield PSA 9 or 10 Baseball cards.

RE: Card price increase with grading?
you can get an increase IF you get a high grade, like a 9.5. if you get a low grade you can actually lose value. its a risk/reward so you might only want to grade the cards that you think will grade well otherwise you can get screwed.
as for popular and not so popular , yeah there is a difference- nobody wants the not so popular cards.
i'd recommend googling "economics supply and demand" before you buy, sell, or grade any cards.
