Jeff,
Whenever I think about grading, I ask myself these questions:
1. Why am I grading this card? What are my reasons? Value, authentication, protection, registry?
2. What is the total price to grade the card? If you care about ROI (Return on Investment), what will that be?
3. Will I be happy if the card is graded lower than I think (or given an A)?
I believe too often, collectors rush into grading and don't ask themselves these questions.
