Need grading advice
I just want to know, what cards are the best to grade? Does it strictly go by book value of the card? So I should always get my highest booked card graded first? Or are rookies best for grading?
I'm stuck between these, and I have 2 free grading coupons.
2002 Playoff Honors: Joe Namath Auto (bv 80)
2000 Pacific GOLD Lavar Arrington RC #197/199 (bv 50)
2001 Leaf Rookies & Stars Michael Vick RC (bv 30)
2000 Pacific Tom Brady RC (bv 10)
I'm just wondering, if the Brady gets a high grade, will the price skyrocket? I was leaning towards the Arrington first, since it's got a nice book price, is #'d, and is also a RC. But I don't think I could go wrong with getting the Vick or Namath auto graded either..
Help please?

Go by the card that you think will get the best grade. The price only is really good for the really high grades. Autos don't usually grade really well because of the extra handling, so maybe take that into account when you choose what to send.

I agree. Also, I always try and see which cards will have the greatest added value if they are graded as opposed to raw. For example, your Namath auto will probably not have too much added value even in a PSA 10 or BGS 9.5 because people are interested in the auto not so much the grade. I would grade the Vick and the Brady because you stand the most to gain from a positive grading result.

Yeah man, I've decided the Vick is definitely one of them. Now it's just a toss up between Brady & Arrington.. Or, I can just find some more Free Grading coupons ;)
Thanks for the advice
