John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 10/31/2018 10:26 am As a general rule,the retail value needs to be at least $150 to justify all grading costs involved. You may want to check ebay sold values. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 10/31/2018 10:41 am If it were mine I'd get it graded even if it cost more than it's worth. Mostly I'd like to have it authenticated (Is it real?) Report this Post to the Staff

jimbucks Pillar of the Community United States 4692 Posts	Posted 10/31/2018 3:12 pm I would slab it. If you don't plan to sell it, then ANACS is a more economical route. Report this Post to the Staff
