Scott Mt. JoySince you are going to sell it I would send it in. I would spend the $50 for what I felt was a strong chance for a bump that would add $500+ to the value of my card.
Here is recent VCP on a card I am tracking, 1956 Topps Pirates Team I have in a strong 8 that I'm thinking of sending in for a $15 bump submission-
PSA 8 - $363 Most recent sale / $404 Ave last five sales
PSA 8.5 - $650
PSA 9 - $1738 Most recent sale / $1817 Ave last five sales
This is only a single example but the bump looks worth it here. I also believe there are a lot of buyers who trust what PSA/SGC say a card is graded at and will gladly pay a premium to get a .5 card vs buying what they think is a high grade card and then sending it in too see if it gets the bump.
