Unfortunately, it has become almost mandatory to have a top notch vintage card graded because of the fraudulent material out there. The authentication alone by a respected company is a major plus for the card-and after that, I feel you must take a closer look at the card and make your own appraisal because of the 1-3 point swing in grades. So, my own grading system is: 1-mangled 2- creased 3-nice looking 4-way sharp 5-like new.
