I own more than a few graded cards that are worthless. I used to buy those random graded cards from Target back in the early 2000's thinking I would get something good. All I ever got was a bunch of Beckett graded commons mostly in the 8 range. The Giambi rookie I paid about $1.50 just because I was the only person dumb enough to bid. I paid about the price of grading for the Murray as I was going to send in the copy I pulled as a kid but realized my original was a little to rough to spend money grading considering it is only about a 50 cent card. The Vaughan card I got from a coworker for free and sent it in to be graded so I'm only out grading fees. And last and definitely least is another card I got for free from a friend and also only worth about 50 cents is a Magic card that I had graded because I thought it would be worth saving. Not only did they get the year wrong on the flip but they way over graded it as it has a lot of wear on the back.
