Re: Card Grading
Cohiba thats true too but one thing if I stole your card chances are youll never find it again wheter its psa or not. Thats reality!!! Being slabbed by psa doesnt mean much to theft protection.

So I finally played along and said it must have been lost and I would send all my scans of the card, along with the serial number to PSA, so they could keep an eye out for it. Also mentioned mail theft.
The next day, he let me know that the card just arrived. Yeah, right. He could have just busted it out of the slab and resubmitted it, but I guess he wasn't quite that clever.
For the record, I no longer own any graded cards. Just ungraded autographed cards. If I were to sell them, I might consider the PSA/DNA auto authentication slabs. For the autos I have, the fee used to be $50. Now I think it's $20.

Re: Card Grading
So what does that mean? My point is this if I bought a card for instance from ebay that was stolen and I didnt not know they were stolen and when its gets shipped to me I put it in a box with my other cards and it never sees the light of day again, till i pass them down to my children and grand children so at that my point unless you have a search warrant for my house the cards will never be seen again until my family decides to do something with them.

Re: Card Grading
I heard Beckett is harder on grading and that they're known for 90's to present. You should look into sgc for your Pete Rose card.
1. 1909-1945 = SGC
2. 1946-1979 = PSA
3. 1980-1985 = BGS
Personally, I dont want to pay the 100.00 dollars for PSA. So I'd use SGC for ANY card

Re: Card Grading
SGC is king among true collectors. Not the card flippers on ebay but folks who want an honest appraisal of their card. All of my personal collection is in SGC slabs. I'd never use anyone else.

Re: Card Grading
Interesting thread! Can anyone tell me their thoughts on getting NON-SPORTS cards graded?
Do non-sports card collectors consider one company "better" (more seasoned, more knowledgeable, more regarded) than another in this area of the hobby?
Another way to put that would be to ask, do collectors prefer one company over another when they look to buy graded non-sports cards?
I am a longtime memorabilia dealer and have been working on an estate with a substantial accumulation of non-sports cards ranging from the late 50's to the mid to late 90's. Should I acquire this collection I would like to have an idea as to what direction to go in with regard to getting many of the cards graded.
Thanks alot!
Rick
