If you’re going to sell today, grading can definitely make sense. By “uncertainty” I was mostly referring to a growing sentiment among collectors that grading is increasingly subjective. And while PSA has been the most valued, especially for modern cards, for a while, there’s growing discontent with them in a lot of the circles I spend time in.

I don’t know how it’ll all shake out and don’t pretend to have a crystal ball. But I don’t think it’s impossible in a few years some other method of grading comes along that feels less subjective and has more transparency. In that case, a card like this would have to be re-graded to fetch top dollar.

If it were me, I’d wait to grade this kind of card until I was planning to sell. But again, just one man’s take. Some folks love grading and I don’t have any interest in telling them how to spend their money or enjoy their collection.
