To Grade or not to grade...that is the question.

[OldSchool]

Hey all...sorry if this question has already been posted recently but I would like to get your opinion on the following:

-What are the Pros and Cons of submitting cards to be graded (BGS, PSA)?

People will give you long answers - but to me it's simple - these are the only 4 factors that matter to me.

Pro - Cards are protected
Con - Cards are bulky and harder to store
Pro - Cards can be worth more if graded (if you pick quality cards) and are easier to sell/trade because people know what they are getting
Con - Cards that are graded cost you more so you have to be picky about what you buy. You can't buy everything since graded can sometimes cost you 2X the cost or more.

It depends on what kind of collector you are.
