I will guess a 5 also.

All cards are worth grading, remember those kids at PSA need some spending $ also.;):D:D

Me personally, I would get it graded. As a '5', it is a $75 card. The "green corners" look really nice, so if it gets higher, consider it a bonus. I would get it graded.

Thanks for the help. I always get surprised when grading pre 80's cards.

The answer depends on why you're grading it. If you're selling it, then to me this is exactly why you don't grade it. It could be a 5, it could be a 6, but a spider wrinkle gets you a 4.

Yes, a 5 is a $75 card, but a 6 is a $125 card. Some people here said 5, some people said 6. Sell it raw and let the buyer determine the grade. Somebody will pay $100 raw thinking they can get a 6 and, even if they do, you're not leaving that much money on the table once you take into consideration what you would have spent to have it graded (and the 2 year turnaround time).

Hard to tell, and often the difference in mid-grade can be things they see under the magnification that you don't. The corners look good enough on it to me to be a 6, but I've seen cards like that graded a 5, and cards with worse corners graded a 6. Personally I would not get it graded if you know it's authentic and are happy with it in your collection. But that's my general opinion on all raw cards. I buy graded online because it helps narrow down a range of conditions for the money, but if I have a raw card that is nice already I don't usually see a point in sending it in for grading.

I don't think it's worth grading for anything under 100
shipping back and forth is like 10-15 bucks(bubble mailer/postage/gas to post office)
grading assume using the group grading special, 12-15 bucks
that's 20-30 bucks there already
if graded back less than a 5, you basically lost.
If you're going to send alone with other cards, then probably worth a try

I agree with other posters that it could be anywhere from a 5 to a 6.5, and I also think that with the slab and a minimum 5 it will be a $75 card and look nice as well in the slab...so I'd personally do it given I think it has a benefit for a PC or if you want to unload it sometime down the line...

It is only worth grading if you are doing a 50 or 100 card bulk order. I would only grade if it is a $100+ card if it grades one grade less than I think it will. $20 plus shipping both ways is too much to invest in a $75 card.

Let us know if you grade the card and what it comes back at!
