MrRoboto Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Would this be worth grading? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scburdet Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 (edited) I would lean no. The highest sale I can find is ~$100 for a 4.0. There's also a 6.0 for not much more. This looks no better than a 3.5 IMO. If you were doing your own C&P, you might make a small profit with a graded vs. raw. Not that you have to sell, but it's at least how I think about whether it's worth grading. I want the purchase price + grading expenses to be at least equal to the FMV (exception is if having a signing/grading gives me a collectable I just want regardless of grade/value). I am pro-encapsulation for protection, but IDK if this is a big enough key as opposed to HoS92 (which I don't own) Edited July 29, 2022 by scburdet MrRoboto 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Thurgood Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 IMHO no. It's in the 2-3 range. Only about 6 sub-3 books in the census indicating that most owners think they won't get their grading fees back from the sale. Anyone interested in buying it would be able to assess the grade for themselves. MrRoboto 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the same thing but just wanted to be sure. scburdet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendelbo Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 2.5/3.0 It'll press a little higher. Probably not worth the time and money to encapsulate. Thanks for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
