High Value Grade - What level do you use?

For those that submit high-end, I have a potential 1980 Henderson 10. What service level would you recommend?
Thanks,

The highest level I would do is the express for 75 just because of the 8 business day and with a card like that I would not want to wait. In reality the chances of that card getting a PSA 10 on first shot is slim. I do not see any reason to declare any higher value as PSA 9's avg. just under 500. Post a picture of it. Would love to see it. Good luck with and keep us updated.
EXPRESS *$75
Maximum declared value of $1,999 and all T3s must be submitted at this service level or higher.
ESTIMATED TURNAROUND: 8 Business Days
Please mark outside of shipment box with "8 Day Service"
REGULAR *$20
Maximum declared value of $499
ESTIMATED TURNAROUND: 25 Business Days
Please mark outside of shipment box with "25 Day Service"5

Excuse the scanner fuzz. Looking at the dot on the top right, it appears to be on the penny saver. Fish eye in green flag may have some impact. The back centering is as good as the front.

Here is another PSA 10 with a fish-eye. Your card has some great looking corners.

Thanks for the comparison. I do notice some fading in the banner on the one I posted.

Good luck with your submission. That's a 10 on any given day. The joys of grading variances!
