To Grade or Not to Grade, That is the Question.

So I've been buying Rickey auto's lately. 1 has been graded by Beckett. 3 of the auto's I've had for years cams in Beckett holders, I think they were Playoff Absolute? My question is should I send in my others and rare 90's cards? 96 Aficionado FPP, 97 Platinum Gold, 96 Studio Silver etc. I'm not really concerned about the actual grade, but more thinking about storage and preservation. Eventually, graded or not, they will be displayed similar to Magic's Griffen curio.

I would to assure the safety of the card.

If you grade a rare non auto card of a star like Henderson, I would use PSA because of the the Registy, collectors go nuts over rare inserts and parallels of Jordan in PSA 10 holders, and if you are not convinced with price difference in PSA over BGS all you have to do is search 93 Sp Jeter in PSA 9 and BGS 9 in completed auctions on eBay.

So 90's cards PSA, auto's Beckett?

I would say so. I am OCD and like uniformity and prefer PSA so I grade everything with them. PSA runs specials every month if you are a member, so you can get a member to submit for you and cut the cost down. Only downside is the wait time on bulk submissions.

I'd def do 90's / early 00s in PSA. Prob everything that way. The ones like the Playoff that came issued in those holders, can't do much about, but the rest PSA IMO.

It's great protection. If you decide to do it, I can get it done on 10 day, probably as cheap as anyone. Shoot me a PM if you decide to go through with it, or have questions.
