Anybody ever buy a set and then grade the whole thing?

I just bought a really nice 71-72 OPC hockey set and was thinking getting it graded. Of course the grading will be more than I paid for the cards. 
Anybody do this with their sets just to have a complete graded set?

I know a few people that have done that, although it typically isn't always the wisest thing to do from a financial perspective (e.g. the commons that come back at 5, 6 or 7 oftentimes aren't worth the grading fees).
But I guess it also depends on your plans with the set in the long term.
