This makes me smile
. Your $ 50.00 set of cards is still a $ 50.00 set of cards whether you spent $ 800+ having them graded or not. Unless your sending your cards to a card doctor before grading, you didn't change one thing about the card itself, except to have it "entombed" with someone's guess as to what it's grade is. It is still the same $ 50.00 set of cards, when you go to sell them, all your really going to find out is how much someone else is willing to pay for the pieces of plastic over the value of the cards, they are still $ 50.00 cards though. I assume you are participating in the "Registry", so you should count these grading expenses as a "cost of participation" in PSA's
FREE registry.
