RE: Need Opinions on whether to grade
I'd pass on the grading unless it's for your PC. The only time (in my opinion) getting less than mint vintage graded is if there's a significant value increase between the grades (some of mine the difference between a 3 and a 4 is $50+)
Now to address PSA being "more reputable" than SGC, I'm going to have to disagree with you. While I would never send a modern card to SGC, they actually are the favorite for really early prewar cards (at least amongst the core of collector's I hang out with). Vintage (post war) I tend to prefer PSA, then BGS for modern.
Just my 2 cents though!

I would say no on grading any of the above, but I must ask... why do you consider PSA more reputable than SGC?
SGC is a classy organization and I'd put them on a highly reputable list as far as grading houses go. curious why you would say PSA is more reputable? there are cards I wouldn't grade with SGC out of preference but they are one of the "big three" far as I'm (and many others) are concerned.
