While it presents nicely, the card is too rough to be bothered with a numerical grade. I'm not sure we're seeing the most accurate representation of the signature's boldness with the photos you've provided. I have a suspicion that it's nicer in person. Even so, I'm going to venture that it wouldn't grade stronger than an 8, so again that weighs against waiting longer and paying more for that aspect of the authentication process. I'd opt for a straight autograph authentication and the identification of the set the card is from (as opposed to the other "trading card" flip. Better yet, if you're planning on selling, just consign to a major auction house and wash your hands of the headache of dealing with it yourself. Or try your hand at selling it here, ungraded, free of fees. The autograph is of the no-brainer authentic variety.
