Upper Deck and grading questions

[jimmychanga18]

Hey guys, just getting back into collecting and I have a few questions.

So Upper Deck has no MLB license, so they can't use logos, right? Is that effecting the collectibility of the brand, or is still popular?

What's the best way to get your cards graded, PSA or BGS?
What's the best way to mail an expensive card to a grading service?

Thanks! I appreciate it!

If its modern go with BGS,vintage use PSA and pre war use SGC.When mailing them out use Registered mail.

Thanks! When using registered mail, is there a way to insure it? I don't mail much stuff. Also, can you just get one card graded at PSA without joining and paying the membership fee?

Yes registered mail can be insured.Unfortunately you have to join the club to submit or find someone trustworthy with a membership to submit for you.I let my membership expire or I would have done it for you.
