Ive never submitted before but i would be interested. Have about 10. Can anyone point me to a thread explaining risks/costs/process of a group sub? If my #d/5 luck comes back with a bent corner im I outta 'luck'? What about requesting grading limits do i dont get a slabbed 6 back on my rivera diamond rookie? Any info is appreciated! Thanks!
Pro's of using FCB's BGS Group sub:
1) saves money - the "per card" fee might be similar to going straight through BGS, but the FCB group sub includes ALL associated costs including taxes, return shipping, and insurance, which can easily add $20-$50 to an order if you sent directly to BGS yourself
2) many people, myself included, think that BGS is a little easier on large orders
Con's
1) takes more time- using a group sub, you send the cards to a 3rd party, who sends them to BGS. BGS then send them back to the 3rd party, who then ships them back to you. This can add 5 - 8 days to your total turnaround time
Regarding your other questions:
1) cards can be damaged in transit, it doesn't matter if you send directly to BGS or use an intermediary
2) you can reguest "minimum grades" whether you send directly or use a group sub. If a card does not meet the minimum grade that you specify, then BGS will not slab it and will send you a special post-it note detailing why your card did not meet min grade
