leonHey Tim,
I agree with you for the reason you send the cards in. I do the same thing. I like knowing a 3rd party grader has authenticated my card. Are they perfect? Far from it. Is it better than not doing it? In my mind yes. I normally only do my high dollar cards as they are the ones I have the most risk with. The other thing is that at least the top 2 companies (SGC and PSA) will stand behind their grading/authentication financially. If you do not get them graded then who will stand behind them when 3 years down the road you sell it and the new buyer goes to have it graded and you find out you made a mistake on not having it checked? I only collect as a collector but if I ever NEED to sell something would the potential buyer feel more comfortable (and potentially pay more) for a card in a PSA or SGC holder or not? (your answer here please).....best regards (and if the answer to the last question is "no" then you are wrong)
