To grade or not to grade

[hearseguy]

Recently pulled a Bowman Sterling A.J. Green gold refractor auto and am wondering if I should grade it or not. It will be at least a 9.5 for sure, but would that increase the value or desirability? I plan on sending some cards in anyway but am very picky on what I grade. I usually try to factor in the cost of grading and make sure that the high grade will at least pay for the cost of the grading above what the same card would sell for in a raw state. At this point the grading with all costs involved will be around $20. What do you guys think? At this point I am thinking it may not be worth it. Any opinions would be very much appricated.

Thanks,
Jeremy

If you are 99% sure it will grade a 9.5, i would send it in

grade it. also reduces the risk a buyer could purchase a card and request refund based on 'not as described'

IMO grade it. Rare enough card of a good young player probably worth it.
