I wouldn't get any low grade commons graded. When you add up the grading costs, it can be more than the actual card is worth. Assuming you (or your dependents) are looking to re-sell in the future, I would strongly consider grading any card over $100 in value. $50-$100 you would have to think about it, and under $50 is probably not necessary. If you are looking to slab the card just for protection, you can possibly still grade the lower value ones. However, at that point, it may be possible to just buy the same low grade card from ebay already slabbed at around the same cost that it would be to grade the card yourself.
