Nationals BGS Question Thread

trademhigh · Jul 4, 2009

I was wondering about the BGS grading at the Nationals.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but they encapsulate on the spot at the nationals, right?
I was also wondering whether or not they offer a same day service. I will only be able to make it for like 4 hours (Saturday of the Nats).

Thanks in advance for all of your help,
JG

Anyone know? I pm'ed gilmore, but i guess he didn't know because I did not receive a reply. So, i figured someone else on here may be able to help.

Thanks!

It all depends on their current workload as to how quickly you receive the cards back.

That said, 4 hours is doubtful.

Darn. Can they encapsulate it then ship to my house?

Yeah, i think it depends on how many are before you. Four hours may be cutting it close. What does a same day on site cost per card. Has too be very spendy.

I'm not sure, but it's an 800 dollar card, so with that being said, IMO it needs to be encapsulated.

They offer a front of the line service called "while you wait" which costs $50 per card. This usually takes 30 minutes.

Is that worth it? Sounds really expensive, lol.

Honestly for a front of line on a 800 dollar card 50 sounds fair
you get to skip line and they will attend to you if thats gets you in and out in an hour i would do it

Is it a real $800 card... or a $800 prospect card? Cuz we have seen in the past what those prices do. Delmon Young? Felix Hernandez? Jay Bruce? Alex Gordon? If it is a really hyped player now.... odds are the price will drop and that $800 card will be $350 or lower if he doesnt live up to the hype. And if its Bryce Harper... cash in now before more cards come out.

I have never been.....but my advice is grab breakfast and get there an hour before the doors open, i still think 50 people will be in front of you but it ill increase your chances.

It's not a prospect card, and I don't think the time to sell would be now. Regardless, I'd like to keep the card in my PC for now.

That's a good call, but I'm unsure yet if I want to spend a full day at the show. I'll have to see then, I guess.

Thanks.

That won't do much good if you're trying to beat the BGS line. Even if you're first in line on the Wednesday the show opens, you'll still be way behind all of the dealers who get to submit their cards on Tuesday or in the 7 hours before the show opens to the public on Wednesday.

That's not bad considering it will cost you $25 to get it encapsulated there anyways.
