Anyone want to go into work for me today?

Dear America, there is a difference between Memorial Day and Veterans Day, please learn it.

I think most people understand it's a day of remembrance for servicemen and women who died in the line of duty, but a lot of people also equate it to a day of thanking servicemen and women for all they have sacrificed (in terms of time and "ease" for the sake of providing that to everyone else). Much like people who honor those who have died on Veterans day.

Define "better".

I like BGS personally. IMO better quality slabs and they're also tougher graders... Again, IMO.

Meaning, which of the 2 provides a better quality of service? I.e grading, care for the product, timeliness of service?

I'll punt to guys who have more experience than me. I think there is a rule of thumb, like PSA is good for vintage and BGS is your modern card go too... Etc etc etc.

I personally LOVE the BGS slabs better. Just sturdy and much more appealing IMO.

So do you recommend I send my 62' Topps Mickey Mantle to PSA and my Griffey to BGS?

Just to be sure, you know I'm looking for a sell value?
