The dumbest question is the one you don't ask

[AnthonyCorona]

I've never been one who is too proud to ask questions and I have a few BGS grading questions. Next week there is a show in Sacramento and Beckett is taking submissions I've googled and read several pieces of advice but I know there are people who submit a lot. One of the suggestions was one touches vs card savers... thoughts? Secondly one guy has suggested using a microfiber cloth to clean the surface, is that common practice because I've only seen that suggested one time. My last question is has anyone submitted using the minimum grade option? I have several that I would want to use that for and I dunno if I'm better off just leaving them ungraded. Thanks in advance for all the advice

You gonna be there?

Yes to the microfiber cloth. Use card savers, unless you're such a baller that you don't mind donating one-touches to BGS.

I'm not a baller at all. For the cloth, is there a method to that? I'll probably check out YouTube for that

Still don't know why they still make people use Card Savers for submissions...

I read people's opinions from one touch, top loader and card saver.

cards don't come flying out of the card savers, and it's easier to remove the cards from the card savers. less chance of damage.

Ive only sent stuff in to be graded once and I did not use the minimum grade cuz I wanted to know what I missed.

Card Saver Is are recommended because they hold the card securely and then can be cut open, rather than pulling the cards out, which risks a surface scratch and fingerprints and such.
