Brodeur Sp Auto.. Grade Or Not?

[SMELLTHEVICTORY]

I PULLED THIS SP AUTO MYSELF AND IT WENT FROM PACK TO PENNY SLEEVE, TO TOP LOADER.. ALL FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND STICKER AUTO SEEMS TO BE PERFECTLY PLACED BETWEEN THE RED AND BLACK WITH NO BLEMISHES..

IT IS N/A ON THE PRICE GUIDE..

I AM THINKING OF SIGNING UP FOR THE MAG AND ONLINE PRICES AND THEY ARE OFFERING FREE GRADES.. I HAVE NO CLUE AS OF VALUE BUT IF IT NEVER RECIEVES A VALUE WILL GRADING IT MAKE IT THAT MUCH MORE HARDER TO TRADE IT? I ALSO HAVE NOT FOUND A SINGLE COPY FOR TRADE OR FOR SALE ON THE BAY AS OF YET..

IF ANYONE MIGHT HAVE A TRADING VALUE I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT..

HERES THE SCAN..

in my opinion...grading should only be used for rookie cards and pre 1990 cards.

but to each their own

Very sweet card Tim buddy, glad you were able to pull it and in such good condition! :beer:

If you would like to have it graded for your own PC, I would say go for it. However, in general, I think a lot of collectors don't care (and even don't prefer) to have a modern non-rc graded.

There's no significant advantage for getting most inserts graded. There's a couple guys who go ga-ga over graded Gretzky cards, but otherwise there's not a whole lotta pulse to grading inserts.

I'd have to agree with Q; the best case scenario is that it grades out 9's and 10's but you'll never see any increased $ for it because of the grades. Worst case, you get back a 8.5 - 9 and have to crack it out of the clamcase to sell it.

I'm Not Sure It's Up To You Really. I Don't Think I Would Grade Something Like That, I Am More Of The Belief It That You Would Grade Rookies Or Vintage Cards, Or Possibly Really Nice Patches, But Even Fake Patches Have Been Graded Authentic Recently (or So I Read).

If it's a freebie grade, why not?

 

[MGiuseffi1969]

First off, nice pull. Second, Like the others I see no value in grading the card. Last, you do realize that when you type in all caps it means you are SCREAMING!

 

[NJDEVILS30]

Don't grade that. It is nice to look at as it is, and that would be ruined by a big bulky toploader.

Dunno if anyone else noticed in this thread, but a long absent friend in the hobby seems to have reappeared.

Welcome back, Tiny C. :beer:

I don't see the need to grade modern non rookie cards, they seem to be a dime a dozen now days. Slap it in a one touch and save your grading for something worth while like a nice rookie.
