I have been checking rates for grading, insurance etc and have found that it costs a lot to get these things graded....I think I will take the advice I've received from you guys and hang on to it and at least wrap it in a coin holder....thanks for the info

Curious: did the cost come as a surprise, and if so, why? Care to share what your initial thought of the cost was?

the cost for grading was not a surprise but I had not considered insurance both ways etc...still studying this whole business

Bill, there is shipping, insurance, cost of packaging, etc and the costs NGC stipulates.  If you're not beginning to collect Walkers I'd settle for either a flip or a small, cheap holder or an album where it will tone up.

Yeah, that’s why I drop them off at shows that I’d be at anyway.
