I grade everything. Some things I send in knowing I wont get better than an 8. The reason I do this is simple - You pay for the grading regardless why not get it graded. I then either accept the grade or crack and resubmit. Most graded cards I keep anyway and atleast with the grade and the subgrades I know where the problem lies. But we all know I love graded cards lol I'll eventually have most of my collection graded. It protects them better and they look nice - even the 6's
