When (and when not) to grade... your approach?

But when the h#%% did SGC increase its rates from $15 to $75/card?? It just does not make sense to send in “maybe $150” value cards anymore for grading.

I’d be interested to hear... at $30-$75 per card to grade, what is your logic for when it makes sense to submit a card for grading?

Like many of you, I sell my extra cards to help fund my own collection needs - used to justify sending 10-20 cards in at $15/pop.

Now? Hard to justify - appreciate your insights, fellow Net54ers.

I'd only ever grade, if I wanted to sell the card.

At $75 per card I doubt I will own many raw cards worth enough to justify that kind of fee. Aside from the bulk submissions advertised here in the past I haven't submitted a card myself in years. I plan to stick to cards that are already graded in the future.
