I own a Beatles set that is graded mint 9 by psa,it is noticeably alot bolder set than others ,but I don't really think when it comes to beatles autograpgs,grading really matters that much.imo I think provenance and year of signing would deem the value.
The one i own looks like this set.
Do you guys think a graded set would increase value noticeably?

Not unless you buy into the grading system.

I do not. Each piece is so very unique, the market indicates "quality" or "grade" (or not) IMO by prices realized.

I agree with u Eric.Im always doing market research on the band's I collect.expecially the Beatles.I do believe value of a set is determined somewhat by current comparable sets that have sold.
This set at 17k is a standout ,there are no comparable sets at this price range.
