It would be more desirable if it were graded, but I don't know if you'd get more return on investment since you say it'll be $44. That gold BGS label just makes cards like this pop.
I'm curious...I've never sent anything in for grading, but how does the 'minimum grade' deal work. I'm guessing if it doesn't meet your criteria they don't slab it, but do they just send it back free of charge or is there a fee for just looking at it?
San Fran is still strong. It's a little catch 22 that they let Sherman keep playing and he's key to all their wins. I expect he'll get a fine for his post game interview
I saw a PSA 8 jerry rice RC on eBay for $600. I wrote the seller telling him its only a $80 card and a PSA 9 sells for about $300. He dropped the price to only $350, and thanked me since he started getting inquiries. I tried, but I guess this guy is just clueless. Hope no one got sucked in.
