PSA or BGS or Someone else??

Cats Coach · Aug 15, 2010

When you buy graded cards, which company are you most comfortable with? I'm considering sending some in to get graded and was wondering which company to use. I've seen a ton of cards graded by alot of different companies, with PSA and BGS being the most common. Just wanted to see what the great people of FCB prefer.

BGS and PSA, are the main ones people look for.

Bgs or psa for modern cards

Psa for vintage

sgc for pre war

I personally prefer psa, evrything in my pc is psa.

I prefer BGS for cards in the 21st century and PSA for anything else.

My PC goes to SGC. Resell, whatever the market wants.

As mentioned BGS, PSA, and SCG.

Don't have cards graded by anyone else, period. And don't not buy them from any other Co for that matter. Especially GEM whose cards are consistently on an encased diet.

bgs for pc

BGS for PC (Authentication if card in bad condition or bad centering, etc)

BGS for Chrome/Sterling and 2000+ year cards

PSA Vintage

SGC Pre-War

I like SGC and PSA. For PSA, you have to be a member but for SGC you just have to fill out a form and send cards in

That is why/how BGS became more popular for modern cards/recently.

Personally i like BGS for everything but pre war. SGC for pre war since they are the experts in that field. I dont like how PSA cases can be compromised.

PSA for resale (the ebay sheep love 'em) SGC/BGS for PC

when buying, whichevers cheapest, with psa pulling up the rear

TBTwinsFan · Aug 16, 2010

Everything in my PC will be BGS. Pre-War, Vintage, modern, and autograph authentication. I don't like anyone else's cases, and I don't like having 3 different types laying around.

Side note, I see on ebay, there is some Perkins stuff slabbed by PSA and BCCG, if I send it in, will they re-slab them for me?

I disagree, but that's another story. I'll let those into marketing and hype go after BGS. I'll save my coins buying SGC.

Agreed!

I agree with this article: http://www.freedomcardboard.com/?s=grading&task=search -

[center:19q6ecj5]" If you card was produced before 1940, it is best housed in an SGC slab. If your card was produced before 2000, PSA seems to be the brand of choice. And, if your card was produced after 2000, send it off the BGS, although unless you pulled the card from a pack yourself it most likely already is in a BGS slab. "[/center:19q6ecj5]

SGC is #1 with me, but I also collect stuff 100 years older than most of you.

I will crack out any cards in anything other than SGC or PSA
