gskennedy Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Hello, I just recently got back into collecting and one of my better cards is a 96 topps Kobe card. I will attach pics of it and would welcome any thoughts if I should get it graded. Thank you for you time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junk Wax Addict Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 I guess the answer really lies with what your goals are. If you simply want to protect the card, assure it is authentic, have a grade for registry, etc, then go ahead and grade it. If you are hoping to increase the value by a huge amount, then I wouldn’t. The bottom left corner is pretty well nicked and it looks like on the backside, a few corners have some issues, so I don’t see it grading any better than an 8, on the very high end, but it would likely end up lower. There are plenty of NM and NM/MT Kobe’s out there, so that is why I say it won’t add a tremendous amount of value by grading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
