Grading fees: As a collector (buyer) do you feel that the card has a built in value?
Because I do not submit cards for grading and almost every card that I have slabbed has been bought off Ebay I feel that the grading fee is built into the purchase price. I know that the submitters are playing a totally different game when they submit cards. How many of you feel the same? I would "value" each card by at… -

I send my own cards in for grading, as well as buy off of eBay and trade off the dallascowboycards.com website. I don't usually sell them after I grade them because I would never break even.

Re: Grading fees: As a collector (buyer) do you feel that the card has a built in value?
yeah pretty much.. since one of my collections is a modern Rickey Henderson player set, i always think its great when i get a card for less or not much more than grading fees.. even if i already have the card raw, it saves me the time and hassle and S&H charges of submitting it myself..
