Should I get this graded?

[Lefty]

I have never sent a card for grading and I'm 99% sure as long as I am living this card wont go anywhere. I was just looking at some completed auctions and even low grade cards seem to jack up the value. I really haven't even been to PSA to check it out yet. Oh well....any advice?

Looks nice! I would.....but check it out first under a lens. Best regards, David

Should I get this graded?

A penny sleeve and a top loader, or a magnetic one-touch will protect the card just as well, and won't cost you an arm and a leg.

Now, I can't tell from the scan, but those two bottom corners look a little soft. Of course, that might BE the scan/picture. It's definitely centered nicely, which is one of the big problems with Vintage cards. You might give it a shot, especially if you find one of those Free Grading coupons.

My biggest concern with a card of this age that looks that nice is that it may be trimmed. I would get another common 1968 topps and put them on top of each other and analyze. If that checks out you should get it graded immediately regardless of the cost, just from looking at the scan, and if it's not trimmed, I would say your looking at a solid PSA 7 or 7.5. The half grade would be because of the great centering. Make sure it's in a penny sleeve then in a Card Saver 1 before you send it in to PSA or BGS.

I would agree with some of the above. Compare with a common '68 to check for trimming first. If that looks good send it in. Get it graded. That's a good lookin' card!

That being the case I say get it graded simply for the benefit of your heirs. Will get them maximum value with the least amount of time/expense/hassle.
