SHOULD I GET THESE JERSEY CARDS GRADED?

kinger793

I GOT BOTH OF THE 98-99 KEVIN GARNETT GAME JERSEYS AND THE 99-00 UD ENCORE GAME JERSEY OF GARNETT. THESE ARE WORTH $300, $150, AND $100. WHAT YOU'LL THINK? PLEASE LET ME KNOW.
THANKS,

maybe the 98-99 one since its older and in great condition

I think grading non-rookie jersey cards was a stupid idea, it just ruins the hobby from the older-day cards when there wasn't no certified gu or autos... now the rookie game used, like 00-01 SPX, etc, now thats definately worth gradin

But its up to you

depending on condition yes.... but if you dont get a 10 its hardly worth it with jerseys, sometimes 9s bring up the price a tiny with jerseys but ussually you aim for a 10 to make money...

yes. get them graded, and not because of the money. i like grading jersey cards, as well as autographed cards because there is a certain type of albumn page that holds psa graded cards. they are a wonderful way to store and display your favorite cards, and i think grading jersey and game used cards is a great idea. to me it just adds a little something extra to the appearance of the collection, regardless of the grade and "book value". to me, part of collecting is the uniqueness of how you build your collection.

Grading cards forever preserve the condition of your card. If you leave it raw there is a good chance you will further damage the card(s) with your handling of them. Graded cards are the only way to go in my book. A raw card willl get maybe 50% of book price. A graded gem mint PSA 10 can get 5-10X raw card price. To get a PSA 9 your card has to look flawless, with maybe one or 2 corners with minor wear. Anything more and it will drop to an 8 from what I've seen.
