When did BGS start grading in person autograph cards?

David Anthony · Sep 4, 2014

I saw a post on another forum that featured an A Kevin Durant Topps Chrome card with an ip auto, card grade, and autograph grade. I always thought that an ip auto would effect the surface grade. How much does this service cost? Thanks in advance for any information.

As far as I know they still only grade certified pack-issued autos. They have made mistakes before, grading facsimile autos for example, so maybe the IP auto was graded when it shouldn't have been.

I think it has to be certified by JSA before they grade an IP auto.

I just saw the card over on another forum. The autograph was authenticated and had a grade of 8. The card itself had a 9.5 grade. I am looking through posts trying to find the card. There was a whole big debate on the true value of the card.

Was this the card that Razor had put into one of their repack products? I remember there being a huge discussion about it.

I don't think so. Here is the link to the thread on the other forum about it.

That's what I think about the OP's question. I know Beckett has some partnership or arrangement with JSA so IMHO it had to be authenticated by JSA (with extra fees for the JSA service added to the grading order form) as part of the Beckett grading process since Beckett graded it instead of returning it due to not being pack-issued.
