    I think this was asked the other day in a thread and the reply was some do and some don't... I think image

    Seems like a matter of preference to me. The completed listings on ebay pointed towards the ones with coating selling for more.

    Case in point a 1997-1998 Kobe Bryant with coating sold for $140 and without did not sell at $99.99.


    I personally would not buy the card with coating as I think it detracts from the appearance of the card.

    If the coating is damaged (scratched, wrinkled) remove it before grading.

    I like the coating, if it's perfect.

    Otherwise, I like no coating.
