    Slabbing 9.0 BGS Young Guns. Worth it?

    I recently had a handful of top tier Young Guns raw graded at a recent card show and a few came back with a 9.0 grading as I was hoping for a 9.5. In your eyes are these worth slabbing with Beckett? Does doing so increase or decrease value? I'm not a huge grader myself so would love the opinions of those of you out there who are. Thanks!

    Basically the answer is no. Better off putting them in a one-touch.

    That was my thought, and look to buy 9.5 graded ones to replace them as they come up.

    I would definitely not grade them. I actually think it will decrease value. If you add in the cost of getting them graded then I think your loosing money. Also 9.0 turns some people off. I wouldn't buy a 9.0 YG and if I did I would bust it as soon as I got it.

    Thanks for the advice buddy that seems to be the consensus, likely back to the one-touch they go.
