    I always wondered about GIA's "First graded" on their slabs.

    is there a premium associated with these?

    Thats funny, they are looking for $275 for an 8.5. Just last month I paid $306 for a 9, lol.

    I don't find the "first graded" thing to be of any value. Who cares if your card was the first one graded. I suppose if it was a '52 Mantle or some other "famous" card, it might be cool, but overall, I think it's kind of lame.

    I agree 100%. I was just wondering if the market is dictating any kind of premium on these.

    Perhaps that's why he's asking so much for his 8.5?

    first graded is as pathetic as the FIRST STRIKE moniker on coins; pure bullspit.
