Trading one Ruth for another is one alternative, although that would likely be easier-said-than-done.

I believe SGC has a crossover service with "minimum grade" option. Have you explored this?

Absolutely. In fact, I believe that they require you to enter a minimum grade. But it will cost me at least $250 to try it out, whether it makes the grade or not.

Thanks to everyone for the feedback. Selling it and/or trading are reasonable options. The problem, and it is a good problem to have, is that I particularly like THIS card, perhaps more so than anyone else would since the stamp doesn't bother me at all, and I would probably be disappointed in what it would sell for vs. what I would need to pay for an equivalent (in my eyes) in an SGC holder.

Great feedback, you've all given me a lot to consider.

EDIT: For example, here is an SGC 2 that looks decent, until the creases along the lower third of the card are noticed. I think creases present the biggest challenge on anything below a 3, especially if buying online. https://www.ebay.com/itm/22443682877...8AAOSwooJgivog
