So I would not send a star card that might be a true 10, only to have it randomly called a 9.....I'd have zero faith in the accuracy, so what am I paying for? But if it's an existing card slabbed, I can judge whether or not I think it's a good buy for the price.
There is no reason to grade any card unless you are thinking of selling. Save your money and use it to buy more cards. On the other hand, I wouldn't buy anything over 100.00 that wasn't graded and would look to buy primarily graded cards.
