"It may bring you more resale value in the end but basically its only telling you that what you know already."

JEFF - while that is true w/ the cards you already have in your collection.
3rd party grading is valuable when you are purchasing cards through mail order or the internet. Before the days of grading many sellers tended to
overgrade their cards to make the sale, maybe no big deal on a T206 Howie
Camnitz thats VG but on a Cobb or a Young a grade or 2 off is a big deal.
At least if a seller now says he has a PSA-4 or an SGC-50 or a GAI-4 you
have an idea what you are getting. And you can always crack 'em out if the
need arises...jay
