Now, to say you posed a different question at the end of the thread, and got no replies to that, then that makes more sense. I wasn't trying to question your integrity but people do some strange things on the board and sometimes I get a bit peeved. Please carry on. Any question pertaining to the hobby is fair, per our board rules. Your questions are certainly fair and your participation is appreciated. best regards

No worries, but to be clear....I wasn't the OP on the thread on the Postwar side. My first post was #36.

Ouch...then my bad and double apologies. I did think you had posted the thread. I guess I should have learned my lesson after more than 6000 posts. We all make mistakes.

Back to the original question. BCCG is for venues such as The Home Shopping Club and QVC. It is not a product that we should even encounter though there are some earlier graded, older stuff in those holders, they are not allowed anymore. I will continue to buy BVG as I think it's a very good product. And if I am not mistaking, BGS is very well respected in the newer markets. best regards

Hmm, I always assumed I don't see many prewar cards in BCCG holders because it was intended for bulk grading, not because it is no longer allowed -didn't know that.


I own a 33 Goudey Ruth in a BCCG 5 slab - bought last january on ebay - I had already learned "buy the card, not the holder" back then and knew about the grading scale, but didn't really know why BCCG existed. Since then, I've 'kept my fingers crossed" that it is authentic/unaltered. It passed all the visual tests I knew to apply after 1-1/2years reading this board and collecting 33 goudey hofers.

Sounds like I don't need to be any more concerned about it's authenticity than if it were in a BVG slab or PSA or SGC for that matter.
