Grading is a crapshoot. I don't do it often, but the stars aligned on this one. Here are the results, why I chose to grade these cards specifically, and what I learned.
Great content. I appreciate the effort put in to this. I just recently sent a submission in myself. Mostly modern stuff for the PC. It is so nerve racking waiting to see if it was actually worth it or not. I'm always curious to know what the odds are for modern to slightly older cards gem rates. I love 90's cards like you but I just have a hard time justifying grading them.
Thanks, Dustin! Yeah, I really try to put as much research in beforehand to figure out if worth it or not. PC is a little different given it will be a long term hold. For me, if grading for the PC, I’m just happy it’s in a slab, really.
I spoke with a guy at TAG at a show and mentioned how great it would be to sell slabs you could seal yourself. Something different than a traditional one touch. You could even have color match ones. Would be great for PC items you weren't considering grading. Just to know it was truly protected for the long run. He actually thought it was a interesting idea. Maybe someday we will have options like that.

Yep agree. I’ve seen a few similar options, but nothing I’m compelled to buy yet
