Generally speaking, does it make sense to open a factory sealed set of baseball cards to have a certain card or cards graded? For example, I have multiple unopened sets of 1987 Topps and Donruss complete sets. Donruss sets are wrapped in cellophane. I could have the Barry Bonds & Mark McGwire rookie cards graded. Is this a good idea or should I let them wrapped?

RE: opening a factory sealed set to have card graded
I think it would actually be cheaper for you to just buy those cards already graded.

I bought a 1989 upper deck set sealed factory for $40. The griffey actually had a damaged hologram

Bumping this... I have discovered multiple boxes of complete sets with key rookies in them and am considering getting them graded, but do not want to break up the sets.
I might just do as suggested and buy already graded copies of the cards.

Now that the registry is working it's just a matter of time until Beckett starts having contests & you would be able to enter your complete graded set to compete against other graded sets & possibly win prizes. I plan on getting my entire set of 2012 Topps Football cards graded & eventually entering it in the contests & besides once you have your complete set graded if ALL the cards get high grades your set would be worth more money than the ungraded version.
