I was looking to get some Comics graded and encapsulated then came across a local comic shop at a trade fair who had examples of other companies works and demonstrated how easy it would be to snap down the sides and pries the comic out.
To my thinking, you need to ask yourself, How tamper-proof would the encapsulation be, and, what kind of a market is there for that specific comic is there?
There's no point grading a comic if there's dozens of the comic already on the market.
after doing some research having it graded does add some value to this comic but not enough for me to wait the months long time frame to get it graded. The one issue i noticed is if i were to sell it on ebay and not ever selling on there i would probably not get much for it. Maybe i need to do a ebay consignment sell. This books value ranges from $500 to 60k if mint condition. Anything lower than mint significantly lowers the value.

Consignment is always a decent choice for maximum buyer exposure and confidence. That is a pretty wide range of prices and if you are good and confident with its condition it may very well be worth using an expedited grading service for a higher charge. Have you looked into that?
