Is it worth it? 0

[Marcjoner16]

New here, maybe it’s been asked already but figured I’d ask again. Back story,I’ve been collecting for roughly 15yrs and hadn’t really cared to get books graded until recently. Still trying to figure out my way around the site but wanted to send a book in signed by Stan Lee, unfortunately it wasn’t in the presence of a signature series observer. Just want opinions on if it’s even worth sending it to get graded, or if I should just keep it raw. It’s a ASM 46. Appreciate the replies in advance.

Sounds like something I would personally get graded, it just depends on if you'd like it encased.

Financially, it depends on the grade

if your concerns aren’t financial, follow your 💜

Yah I just want it to remain in the same shape it’s in, it’s in, with my extremely limited expertise, what I would assume VF condition. Appreciate the feedback!

If all you want is to preserve it, a $2 mylar does the job just as well as an $80 slab.

Seconded. 

A Mylar with a full-back board will look just as good, IMO. Decided not to slab any of my Silver Age DD because they look so good in the higher quality bags.

Really not worth it. Grading with CGC is just to make it easier to sell non signed books.

I would keep it in a nice bag and board, unless you have tons of disposable cash and want to know what CGC thinks of its condition.
