is it worth grading Elite die cut Autos?

[james5348]

i have a few elite die cut autos i am thinking about grading. The players dont have bowman autos so these are their only rookie autos. the only worry i have is that they are diecuts and its hard to judge centering and edges. i know a high grade can bring value to the card but do they offer a service where you can have it graded if it only meets like a 9 or 9.5?

Yes on all counts. You can set a minimum grade.

good luck

They must grade die-cut edges fairly loosely, check out this top edge:

EDIT: it does look worse in the scan than in person

BGS doesn't give anything less than 9.5's these days.

I wish that was the case. But not true. Many Many people get poor submissions back. It happens conistently. I just saw a sub of base chrome Bryce Harpers, and bowmans best harpers. These are considered "Easy grades", yet the subber got about 40% gems.
