Yeah grading is a waste of money. They look cool but its too risky. GMA grading does a great job but they dont really add value to the cards. I graded like 200 cards with them. I sold some at a loss, I sold very few at a profit. I would consider sending cards for my pc to them. Then I think at $3.50/card I rather buy more cards. The $16 in shipping makes it better to send 5 cards. So now its over $30 to grade 5 cards and they ate the cheapest. So $30 plus to grading or new cards? I keep choosing new cards?
