Agreed you should have the AH take care of the grading if you go that direction. I have always believed grading is a crooked game and have had good luck both in terms of turnaround and grade when going through a reputable auction house. You many also get the advice not to grade them. I had a 1955 Spic n Span Aaron that had some creases but presented nicely. The auction house advised against grading it because the visual appeal was greater than the technical grade and besides some collectors don't want an oversized card in a humongous slab. I don't recall what it went for, but I was happy with the price.
