probably not for $$ or investment return, but for protection / looking nice in your PC, sure it'll look nice in a $30 SGC tux

David, I'm not a slab guy myself, but here's some a blurb on how much a grading costs I copied & pasted for you to help in your decision:

• Beckett.com: Premium w/ no sub-grades $150, Premium $250. More.
• PSA: Special $18, Value $30, Econ $50, Reg $100, Express $150, Super Express $300. More.
• SGC: 20-25 business days $30, 1-2 business days $125. More on SGC turnaround times.

I'm not a slab guy, but it would seem unnecessary since you have a 1/1. I don't see where a slab would add any $ value.

I was going with SCG myself if I do get it graded --I belong to a website sportscardinvestor.com where you can send them the card they review the card to determine if its worth grading and they send off to the grading company of your choice and turn around time is almost cut in half and there is a price break if you send in I think more than 10 cards

I am not really but some cards I have just thought I should
