I don't think grading it will increase or lower the value, no matter what it grades at. Maybe if it is a BGS 9.5, that might add a little value, but most of the player collectors who would be going after it want it for the fact it is a 1/1, and would still buy it even if it grades a near mint. But getting it graded would protect the card, and if you like the way it looks like in a BGS holder, then it might be worth getting graded.

Also, if this is the only card you would be sending in to get graded, then the shipping and insurance both ways will be much higher than the grading fee itself, and then is almost certainly not worth it.
