Assuming the OP's attribution is correct, and ignoring the really unnecessary and harsh snark, as well as the screeds on the evils of grading companies, the OP's question is a reasonable one to ask.

It appears that variety lists for about $185 on PCGS at PR66, but jumps to $275 at PR67.

As others more expert than I have pointed out (Tropical Bats just recently, for example), these minute grading changes can affect the value of the coin substantially. As a result, spending the money to get the coin slabbed can boost the perceived/potential value substantially.

Also, as others have pointed out, selling a slabbed coin at that level is generally easier than selling a similar raw coin as higher end collectors (think registry sets) generally prefer slabbed coins. In my experience as both a seller and buyer of coins $275 for a slabbed coin will get a much better response than asking $275 for the same coin raw.

Of course, there's risk. If you spend the $50 dollars (approximately) to get the coin graded and it comes in lower than you hoped you have less gain to realize for the same cost outlay. That same coin at PR65 lists at $140, or half the value of the PR67.

The question of whether you're willing to take that risk is entirely subjective and really one that only you can answer.

On the other hand, if all you're really looking to do is preserve the coin, then buying an Air Tite or some other high end home slabbing system is probably just as good and won't cost more than about $2 - $3.
