You may also want to read this article that goes into the Brady 2000 Contenders card a bit - https://www.sportscollectorsdaily.com/20...rd-300000/
As of right now, the top two examples of this card have both graded out at BGS 9. Last year a BGS 9 went for $250,000 and the one that ends today is expected to go for at least $300,000. If it comes back as a BGS 9.5, it would be the only one graded like that in existence.
Personally if I had this card and I was going to get it graded and was sure it was coming back a 9.5, in all seriousness I would book a flight down to Dallas, walk into Beckett's HQ, and see if I could negotiate a higher service level than their 2-day, $45 per card and have them grade it same day, even if it was for $100. Then I'd see between Beckett and PWCC who would give me the best cut of a consignment service, and have them sell the card for me.
There's no way I'd sell the card myself and risk getting ripped off.
