BVG vs. SGC

[chaddurbin]

i think beckett would customize a holder so that the SGC holder will fit inside...

Although I might be in the minority here, I would cross the SGC 96 to BVG 9.5. To answer your other question, I do not think that the value would increase because both grading companies agree on the same grade, primarily it would ensure that the card was accurately graded.

SGC 92 is nm/mt+

SGC 96 would be mint

And as for your other question; if BVG says the card is a "9" and SGC says it is a "92"; I'd make that switch on a 60's card

If it's about the market price, than than yes i would transfer on the uPgrade of any 60's card to a BVG holder.

BVG has a Strong place in the market when it comes to Postwar and newer cards. For instance, i have an AROD Rookie Auto that was in another holder graded at a 10, crossed it to BVG 9.5/10(Auto). If you do some due diligence on this one you'll see what i mean. It's my Son's now

if it was Prewar, i would leave it in the SGC holder. Even if BVG were to uPgrade it numerically. SGC gaunantee's the card at the grade assigned for the lifetime of it! As long as it's not been tampered with.

imho, BVG is working very hard to gain ground in the Prewar arena, but still has some ways to go! Postwar seems to be stong in certain areas.

Let me guess your next post
"How much would you guys pay for a '63 Pete Rose graded BVG 9.5?"

In all seriousness good luck(on your future profits) if you decide to cross it.

BVG is notably more lenient with back paper loss then SGC is.

Craig, you read my mind

There are exactly zero Arod cards that are old enough to get into BVG cases. BGS yes, BVG no.

Is that real or photoshop'd?

[Griffins]

very real. It belongs to Kevin Saucier. Garvey signed the outside of a PSA slab, and GAI slabbed the slab. I'm sure Becket could do the same, and probably don't care if the slab was hand sealed or not, as long as it measures full size.

What if someone else signed the GAI slab, which was then slabbed by Beckett, etc., etc...

A double-wrapped Garvey.......the best jokes just write themselves.

Sent in my very first submission to BVG a week ago for 2 day service on some cards not graded by PSA or SGC; learned today that BVG can't find them.
