He is vissualy in great condition and even under a jewelers loop it looks good to me. What are some opinions oh having it graded?

I think most people who are looking for a Foil Jace want to use him. Grading is more for Power and Alpha/Beta.

Still I think if it gets graded 9+ it might get a little premium
Huge premium for 10

Not sure however how realistic it is to get a jace foil graded 10

If it gets a 10 you can expect a huge premium. IF. That's a big if. Anything less probably not, and most people would want it to play with if it didn't make a 10 grade.

Depends on language and your interest in it, I guess.

If you want to hold it, as a collectors item, I would propably get it graded (if you reckon at least 9.5 most likely). If you want to play it, I wouldn't.

Also, if jap/rus I would most likely STOP playing it, and get it graded ASAP if it's 9.

Yep, I'd grade it, especially if English.

Grading anything from the original sets I feel is a huge waste of time and money. I highly doubt even a 9.5 would command much of a premium this is a card that is played not collected.

No, dead serious. As you are aware, many serious collectors despise foreign cards. Grading a card moves it from the player realm to the collector realm.

When SCG is buying Jace foil at $500, its time to get it graded.
