BGS Raw Card Review Question-grade guaranteed?

Big Mac McGwire · Jan 6, 2011

I have never got a raw card review before. I just purchased a card with raw grade of 9 with a auto grade 10.

When i submit it am i guaranteed it will get at least a 9??

No,

They say they review it again.

also, if its a high value card be careful of "Bait and switch" cards as well.

I sent in about 13 9.5 raw card reviews and a 10, got all back slabbed with those grades.

Are they easy to switch cards out in them?

999 out of 1000 won't change. The 1 that will is the one that was made to stop a table from wabbling, or something ridiculous like that. Those semi rigid holders are pretty sturdy, and the bgs tape keeps out dust and other harmful things. If you don't abuse the cards, they won't change...

Thank you for the information guys.

Be very careful with high-dollar RCR cards cause people can open up the cases and change cards.

Its not a crazy high priced card. Around 80$. Its not serial numbered either which does make succeptable though. When i get some extra cash i will have it done or maybe done on site at the next major card show i attend.

It would be EXTREMELY hard to open one of those and put in a new card and have it not be totally obvious. Skeptics are everywhere, but I have talked to a BGS rep, and they said you barely mess with that gold or silver tape on top, it leaves the word "void" all over the top, and the grade is no longer even looked at. Not trying to offend anyone, just trying to help.

I believe they do it by cutting open the side of it and then resealing it. The sticker doesnt seem to be a real deterrent either, just ply it up and glue it back with a new card inside.
