Welcome to the forum..
1)Graded cards are nice, but with modern technology, 10's should be expected right out of the pack, so grading is kinda pointless. Grading on vintage is still one of the best things, especially in higher grades for monetary purposes.
2)Ivan, much like most modern players are having problems gaining value mostly because there's SO MANY cards out there. I don't believe Ivan really has a difficult or premium rookie card, except maybe the Topps Traded Tiffany. Those less produced or limited cards are really the best rookies to go with on modern players.
3)In a way Beckett's numbers are somewhat arbitrary, and are only partially based on market value.. Your best bet for a true "VALUE" would be to keep an eye on completed listings on ebay or subscribe to something like VCP.
