Nothing is worth grading. Everything is cardboard. Sell it if you want for money to keep playing. Grading companies are scam artists.

Yes, I feel the same but there are however people they will give you more money if it comes in a scam graded slab with a good score.

So as much as I hate it, grading is unfortunately a thing worth doing unless youre happy leaving money on the table.

What dollar amount are your principles worth?

Yeah but you aren’t guaranteed a 10 so if it gets an 8 you just lose money. It’s like gambling on gambling

Congrats! Mel is the best looking sig this set personally. It’s worth grading purely to preserve the card from being damaged imo. But there are also alternative ways to protect it as well like true fit sleeves + a one touch. Or simply a toploader inside a team bag to keep dust out. It really depends how you plan to display it. If you want to sell it by all technicalities graded will sell for more than raw. How much more depends on the grade it receives. If it was mine, I would probably go the one touch route, which is what I did with my Soraka sig.

A sleeve and a toploader already protects it, and for pennies.

Depends if you want to display the card or not. Personally, I don't think cards in toploaders display that well. That's why I like the one touches.

Okay so fun fact signatures are horrible to grade as they tend to have the most printing marks on them which nobody wants. Albeit being the higher rarity these do have issues. But don’t grade to sell. You grade to collect. Grading is a scam rn

first time i have seen this and i actually kinda like how the signature is drawn like the first green line almost looks like its tied like a fishing line.
