The main caution regarding BGS is that they will grade sheet-cut cards. Somewhat controversial in the hobby, some collectors won't touch sheet-cut cards, while others have no problem with them. Your own personal stance will help to determine whether you will consider BGS when shopping for graded cards. BVG is Beckett's vintage grading department, and the same caveat regarding sheet cuts applies. BVG recently stopped providing subgrades, which was the easiest way to pick out a sheet-cut card (typically, the Surface subgrade on a sheet-cut card will be lower than the other subgrades), so be careful if this is a concern for you.
Google Beckett or BVG and sheet cut and you will see lots of discussion of this issue over the years. |
That ebay article you posted is 9 yrs old. Maybe things have changed? I don't know nor do I care because the main issues I see are in PSA holders.
I have never been part of sheet cut card issues anyway. However, if they are consistent, l
abeled accordingly and are of size then I see no issue slabbing them. For folks to keep saying sheet cut this and sheet cut that, that debate isn't too relevant for the cards I deal with and collect (as far as I know). This Gibson isn't sheet cut LMAO......neither are any other BVG cards I have. BTW, most of my stuff is BVG (and SGC) but I am fine with BGS and BCCG too. BCCG has a different scale but the cards are fine from my experiences.
No worries at all in the other TPG cards holders....... besides
Please
Submit
Again charges HUGE grading Fees and HUGE shipping fees. I will buy, sell and collect Beckett and SGC graded cards all day long. They are great cards graded by companies I trust.
Just need to know the grading scale for BCCG. To each their own though. But look for a lot more BVG to be listed soon.
FYI,. there will never be all of the scandals around Beckett holders, which are easily the most secure in the business, that there are with PSA holders. LMAO
