'85 Star 5"x7" Michael Jordan (sealed) grading questions

[MarcHandelman]

So I have the '85 Star Bulls cards in a still-sealed pack with Jordan on top in pretty good shape (see imgur link). I'm trying to be smart about how (whether?) to grade it. I have heard that PSA doesn't grade these. My questions: 1) do any reputable grading companies grade them? 2) If so, any recos on which is the best service for Star cards? 3) If grading it, do I take it out of the plastic pack myself and ship? Or does being in the plastic add credibility? 4) Should I NOT drive myself nuts trying to grade it since some Star cards seem to have a bad reputation? I assume this has all been discussed before but am new to this forum so I'll thank you for your patience and for your thoughts on how best to proceed. (FWIW, I also have the Lakers 5x7 set bagged up too.). Link below:

Beckett will grade it. But be prepared to wait a while. Good luck

My hope is that massive Jordan collector and now part owner of PSA Nat Turner will finally get them to start grading these cool Star cards. I’m not sure about SGC, but I can also confirm that BGS will grade them.

If you are going to keep it I would see no reason to get it graded, if selling it might add a bit but with the condition as I see it the grade wouldn’t add a lot in value.

Thank you all for your helpful thoughts. Have a great weekend.

It’s a nice bag and I think an undervalued card. My reasoning behind not grading is that someone gambling on a higher grade might bid higher than if it got the grade I think it might.
