I agree on not getting it graded. A printing plate has been used in the actual printing process so there are bound to be imperfections on the surface. Plus it's a 1/1 (1/4 if you want consider the other colored plates) so you won't really get much of a markup from having it graded.

for all that is holy, don't get it graded lol it will not grade well at all bro, and anything below a 9.5-10 will hurt the card IMO.

For example, I remember someone had the Jim Thorpe Absolute Memorabilia prime patch (the one that had his last name stitched on it from his pants) graded, and it came back as like a 7 or a 7.5. Frankly, to me, that really made the card ugly!

However, if you want the protection of a case, just have them certify it authentic. That's what I do with my nicer, really rare cards.

Good luck on whatever you decide to do with it!
