4 card RCR at my LCS...Woot!!!

[dxanarchy]

Yea...4/4 with a 10 to boot. Both Trouts are refractors.

 

[CollectorsCorner]

Should have sent them with BGS to get the real cases. Hope you can maintain the 10!

 

[dxanarchy]

I would have, but I need a quick flip. Have a trip to Baltimore planned in Mid-March.

To buyers out there, how much do you give more for a RCR 9.5 or 10?Same as slab?

I won't buy rcr because of the scamming that goes on with them.

 

[cgilmo]

In this case, I would probably trust the source that the RCR's are coming from.

Still wouldn't pay market gem prices because I have to pay and wait to get them back in real slabs.

Agreed. Not going to buy a 9.5 that probably won't come back a 9.5. At least when it is in the slab it is a set grade.

Is it safe to say RCR carries about the same weight as BCCG used to?

Have not heard of this before.So someone could peel sticker or seal and slip a damaged card in one and sell as gem?What scamming does this entail?Never used RCR, not familiar with it.

I am by no means the pulse of the hobby on this, but I would not pay a penny of a premium on a RCR. All it does is offer a non-guaranteed second hand opinion, one you will have to re-pay for in order to have it re-graded and slabbed. I would rather buy raw. Just my 2...

 

[CollectorsCorner]

Good news for the OP is that not all buyers know that that isn't the true/guaranteed grade so he will get some premium over raw cards.

By all means, set the record straight!

I could see paying a few extra dollars for it, but nothing more.How often have you seen cards go from RCR 9.5 to BGS 9?

 

[CatdaddysCards]

As stated earlier, RCR isn't a true grade. If they're ever sent in to be slabbed, they will be re-graded at full cost, before put into a slab.

I recently experienced this with a customer in my group sub.

Enough to know it is not a guaranteed 9.5

Good feedback.Not even inclined to persue RCR after reading this thread.

If you want something graded, hit me up. I run a group sub. There's also a group FCB sub, if you want that route.

cutting open the bottom of the holder and inserting a different card and resealing it. i forget the the story but a few years ago there was a guy in jersey or new york scamming people on high end cards with this.
