ali_lapointthe plastic sleeve is there to make sure the card doesnt slide around the holder. i have psa and sgc graded cards that wiggle around everywhere in their holders but the few bvg cards i have never move. it may make it harder to scan but i dont think they have scan ability in mind when theyre trying to preserve your cards. as for the grading, its all subjective anyway. who is to say that sgc is the pre-eminent end all be all when it comes to giving a scrapbook card a 2 or a 1? im assuming you saw some cards receive a 2 instead of a 1 because of the glue, doesnt seem like a huge deal to me. i have no problem with bvg and their grades. unlike sgc and psa they seem to grade all cards equally. there have been some examples where i thought, and this is just a personal feeling and in no bashing, that sgc and psa have given some cards better grades depending on the issue and player pictured.
