If they graded high they could be worth even more. Ultimately, they are for my personal collection anyways, so value is not the final concern.


Check out the following Snider card. It would take some real serious convincing, to tell me that this card would sell for more than a Snider unsigned refractor in a PSA10. I know the Hardy's are gold refractor's, which are a bit different but I think the idea holds true for all parallels. Just my opinion. I think it is an interesting debate. I think it parallels when collectors said that getting cards signed made cards worth less, which I think most agree now is not true.

Any other opinions?

If your signed cards are for your personal collection, then why would you need them graded? Grading cards is to raise the value of cards for selling purposes.
