Posted By: <b>Jim</b><p>Hello All.<br />I am thinking about getting this T205 Johnson graded by SGC for possible selling. The question is - is it worth it to have it graded. I'm not sure how this card would grade out but I am guessing in the G-VG range. The card has some surface wrinkles in addition to what you can see from the scans. Any opinions? Thanks!

Posted By: <b>Jim</b><p>Thanks for the advice. I might wait and get it graded when SGC is at the Chicago show in March. Anybody do the on-site grading at any of the shows? I know some of the companies (not sure which) do grade on-site and some only take submissions.<br /><br />Jim

Posted By: <b>Bill Kasel</b><p>I like my cards graded simply for the fact that I think they look great in the SGC holder, and it protects them in the long run (apparently not from spritz's of water and Windex though). It really is a preference of the collector. If you like the look of your cards raw, don't do it. It will be easier to sell if you do get it graded. <br /><br />Great card btw!<br /><br />Bill<br><br>"The beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad, so I had one more for dessert"
