MTG Serendib Efreet - Grade? 0

[Kronius]

So I am a total noob at trading card grading I am looking to sell some of my vintage Magic cards. Some have never been played and some very lightly played. Based on checking eBay sales data, it looks like getting the cards graded is only worth it if they come back 9.0 or better.

if anyone can give me a sense of what my Serendib Efreet should expect to get, that would be very helpful. It shows a couple minor dings but otherwise great condition imo.

I’m considering having my cards graded at CGC but I’m also considering BGS if that makes a difference.

I don’t have enough experience to give a numerical grade, but those scratches on the back are really going to hurt your surface sub-grade.

Since my original post, I found some YouTube videos analyzing raw cards for grading and after watching them, I’m pretty sure none of my cards are worth grading, so I will just sell them raw.

There is also a significant surface flaw on the front as shown below.
