From when I collected back in the 86-87, I bought an 86-87 Fleer Basketball complete set (which was collated and actually, they messed up and put two Dominiqe Wilkens).
Since it is hand collated and not "factory Sealed", should I get my Jordan professional graded?

If it's real, it's definitely worth grading in almost any condition. That card was heavily counterfeited back in the day, so my advice is to post a scan so we can authenticate it first. There are some very easy to tell differences between the counterfeit one and a real one. Got a scan?

Here's some info on how to spot the fake...
http://sportscardinfo.wordpress.com/2008/05/21/how-to-spot-a-fake-michael-jordan-86-87-fleer-rookie/
The first thing I always look at is the "Fleer Premier" logo. That's the easiest to spot, even with a bad scan.

How do I post the picture I took with a camara?
Going by all those things, it is definatly real. I knew it was, I bought it literally during the 86-87 season. I remember it well.
The picture I took stinks, but it does show the clearity of the Fleer logo and the clearity of the "Michael Jordan".
So how much does it cost to "Grade" and how do I go about doing it? Should I go to a dealer in town and ask his assistance?

If you've checked it against all the indicators and it's good, probably no need to post a pic. Besides, if you purchased yours in 1986-87 then you're good because they weren't counterfeited until about 5 years later - I beleive 1991 was the first year I saw one,
You can do an on-line submission with SGC. IMO, you should use the "Grand Slam" service which is $25 with a 5 day turnaround.

the sharpness is somewhat taken away due to the fact that it is in a penny sleeve, in a screw down.

I am thinking thou, I bought this complete set back in 96, and then they sat till now. It was hand collated and sold to me in 96. They actually screwed up and put two Niqe Wilkins in it.
So ALL, the entire set looks just like this.
If I were to have this graded, should go ahead and have the entire set graded, then register it? or is it worth it?

If you called for pricing to grade a complete set to place on the registry, I would assume you would get a good deal. The price to grade the entire set would cost less than the Jordan alone, so certainly not a terrible idea. If you can beat 93.33 as an average grade you would move right into 1st place for the set.
