Question for people who get cards graded regularly.

With another scf group submission here I would like to know how most of you guys and gals choose what to get graded,obviously I know your cards that are in the best condition.What I would like to know is what are the best cards to get graded,obviously rookies,but do you grade prospects hoping they'll spike or do you just grade cards that a high grade will give the price a big boost.Any help appreciated,thanks in advance Steve.

I have graded rookie cards already with a high enough value that grading them boosts the price a little bit. $7 for grading a card usually adds enough to the price to cover the grading plus some extra bonus cash if it grades well. To me, it's a seemingly easy way to make some extra money on a card that you planned on selling anyway.

Other than that, I own one graded card that I'm keeping, but I graded it because of its age, a T206.

Sound advice,1 card I'm thinking of grading is a 2012 A&G mini baseball bat back of Derek Jeter hand numbered 16/25 haven't seen another one so I have no price to go by,but I think just having it slabbed would bring me piece of mind.
