Better To Grade or Not To Grade?
 

Gem Mint Condition. Bold Signature. Pack Pulled and straight to the penny sleeve and toploader.

So glad I didnt try to jump on one of these when they were first released. They were going $450-600$

Wow that is a great looking card!

Grade it. The value isn't going to go up until the season starts, so it's worth the 10 dollar investment for it to grade a 9.5 and get 50 more, or a 10 and get 100+ more

Centering is off at least 60/40 maybe 70/30. But other than that it looks good. You should get a 9.0 grade probably

I assume t/b centering is close to the norm for that, like the Aflac autos? L to R is a bit off, not that it matters at BGS though. I'd say worth a shot.

Id send it in and put a note to only raw grade if under a 9

Looks like a BGS 9 based on centering. Not sure if it is worth grading if you're looking for a BGS 9.5.

Now if that was the Strasburg Superfractor it would be a BGS 10 :D

Awesome pull.

A Grade will be cool but you won't get more than a 9, so the value will not change all that much.

Can you do that?
