BGS OR PSA

I'm one of those picky OCD type dudes that adores BGS for implementing the soft sleeve inside of the graded case for limited movement and the extra overall protection of the card. I wish PSA would do that.

Same here as well. Not to mention, till i found this place, i spent much time reading the PSA boards and the net54 boards and it seems that there is really a lot of tampered psa cases on the market, where as BGS is tamper proof.

No kidding? Wow... I guess that kinda serves as testament to my "PSA holders as being frail" comment.

Score another one for BGS.

Hey Bilko can you post an example of what you mean by "frosted" I am very curious as i am starting a graded card pc and just got several PSA graded cards. Now a few of them I mean I don't think people would go through the trouble to jack with a Ricky Watters action packed rookie, but before I buy a Jerry Rice, i'd sure like to know. I may just hold out for a bgs on the rice..The smaller guys like a pro set romanowski i am not worried about the psa.

FYI, if you want an example of a tampered case, here's one with tell tale signs and was confirmed by PSA as having the flips switched (not the card itself).

Note lower right side of the slab.




There is a Bobby Orr near the end of this thread...

Another thread on Frosted Psa cards

If there is clouding around the edge, the holder is likely tampered with. Also, if there is any question in your mind that the holder looks different, stay away. There will always be another one to be found soon. There will be a ton of more examples on PSA Message boards, just search with keywords like "Frosted", "Tampered", "Fake" etc. Its actually such a big dilemma over there i went and checked out all my psa cards.

WOW. I will NEVER buy a PSA slab after this thread. (Not that I was a fan before anyway.)

Why? As long as the holder isn't damaged, it's fine.
