Just pulled a Stan Lee Auto card from 2011 Allen & Ginter - 3 exist that are BGS Grade 9 but there isn't a single 9.5. Should I take the easy $ that they're going for on ebay or should I invest the $30 to try to turn it into a 1 of 1?

My concern is that a collector for this card may appreciate the 1 of 1 BGS grade as much, so not sure it really enhances the value, even if I do get a 9.5.

Start an auction at $.99 and let it ride. The $$$ you'd put into getting it graded wouldn't be cost effective and would not turn it into a 1/1, regardless of the grade. On a related note, nice pull!

Thanks!

While I realize it isn't necessarily a 1 of 1 card, I always figured that a 1/1 card grade-wise (in the right direction of course) added value. Or am I just being stupid? Theoretically, wouldn't a card like this graded as a 9.5 be more valuable if it were the only one compared to those graded as a 9?

There are those set collectors who prefer a raw card over a graded card. IMHO, this is that type of card. The only benefit I see to grading it would be to protect/preserve it. Best of luck with whatever you decide to do!

Very good point - I'm going to put it up on ebay this week then! Thanks for the insight!

Can't see scan.. sometimes attachments don't work. You can upload it to photbucket or flikr or imageshack just be sure to copy paste the img code.
