Some of them won't if the card is deemed too fragile.

Yes, I just want it encapsulated for authentication purposes to sell on eBay, etc. If SGC is iffy (and PSA currently cost prohibitive), is there another company that would be more likely to holder it? Beckett?

Alternatively, would people just consign it directly to an auction house instead?

Any thoughts would be very much appreciated!

For anyone following along at home, I ended up contacting SGC and they informed me that the card wouldn't be encapsulated due to the condition.

Guess you beat me to it. I would try Beckett customer service and ask the question. Not sure if it helps it or hurts it, but could try CSG.

Thanks Howard, I may end up doing that. BVG is still so expensive for a submission, though, that I may end up waiting a bit until their prices go down. Appreciate it!

...does Beckett Grading still have a backlog for normal $$ charge "BGS" and "BVG" subs ? Or did they get all caught up like "SGC" did.....??

Not sure about timing, but the cheapest option right now from BVG is $125:
