I guess we will have to wait and see, I would be willing to bet a BCCG 10 Gretzky will go for $1,500+ If a BCCG 10 Jordan goes for over $1,000 then how can a Gretzky RC OPC not? Just look at the completed sales. This Jordan sold for $1,450 http://cgi.ebay.com/1986-87-FLEER-MI...#ht_500wt_1156
A Gretzky OPC 9 sells for more than a Jordan 9.

I think I agree with Chris. I have never owned a BCCG card, but a bccg 9 gretzky sold for 750ish. wouldn't you expect the 10 to sell for a fair amount more? Also, isn't a 10 the "equivalent" of a bgs 9? If so, there is a ton of value in that. A BGS 9 OPC Gretzky sells for 3k+, I believe.

PT Barnum was right!

I speak of value for resale. I think that you would get more selling it than 999. Just my opinion.

Okay, but as soon as it goes up for auction you will see that you could have bought that card and have made a pretty penny. I'll be back.

this is a great example of why alot of board members don't like beckett.

the card may sell for psa 8 or psa 9 prices, but the buyer will be getting an EXMT card. totally misleading.

A bccg 10 isn't necessarily the equivalent of anything. There are a few other factors in play, but for the most part they are grading the cards based on it's "true" condition without factoring centering. Basically, any card that comes straight from a pack should qualify as a bccg 10, and the varying grades would depend on how well a card was taken care of by the collector.

Theoretically, a bccg 10 with perfect centering should cross-over as a 10 to any major grading service. It probably doesn't always work out that way though.
