Pretty Awesome Estate Sale Find - Question about Grading

[jbrown]

Found this beauty at an estate sale recently. I was wondering if anyone has had any luck with cross grading brom BVG to PSA. I would love to get it in a PSA 5.5 or 6 holder. What do you guys think? I will try to get some better picks up later.

I personally don't have any experience cross grading, but wanted to congratulate you on the awesome pickup!!

 

[rum151man]

awesome, I would just leave it the way it is

 

[MansGame]

Wow, that's awesome! I'd leave it the way it is as well.

If you don't mind me asking, what did you pay for it?

 

[sportscardtheory]

Definitely PSA it, unless it's only for your PC, then just leave it.

Awesome looking card. If I sent it to PSA I would expect it to go down a grade but you may get lucky. If you send it to PSA I would crack it out and not send it in the BVG slab. If your not selling it I would leave it as is.

be careful if cracking it out. could come back as trimmed, etc.

PSA is the leader for a reason.

regardless, great rookie card!

I was leaning towards selling that's why I wanted to cross to PSA. But I would rather have a BVG 5.5 than a PSA 5.

Yes, for selling a PSA 5 will bring in much more then a BVG 5.5

Send it to that black background company...that card will look good in that holder.

 

[Lancemountain]

Just under $600.

Just under $600.

Looks like you did pretty good without getting it graded by another company. That was a cool card it would have been hard for me to part with if I had it.

awesome, I would just leave it the way it is
