Used 8, Items 8, While I think CGC perfect 10 does compete with the customer base for this level of grading, I also think it will take time for CGC perfect 10 to reach the same level of respect that the Black label receives. Beckett is also a great option for sending in high-end cards right when the set drops. This is when you will get your card back as fast as possible, you could be the first on the market, and fresh cards like that have the best chance at receiving a Black label grade.
Past that, grading with Beckett for your personal collection is obviously totally fine, that just comes down to personal preference. A faster turnaround time is going to be more expensive, a fact regardless of what service you decide to go with.
You essentially must choose between time and money. Not a whole lot to discuss when it comes to the different service levels. Past that, you need to know about subgrades. Subgrades are an important decision you must make, as they can mean all the difference when a customer is looking at your card. If you are grading for your personal collection, this is just another choice you will have to make for yourself.
For my BGS submission, which contained cards I planned to sell, I decided not to go with subgrades because the cards are very low value and relatively obscure to begin with. This allows me to sell the card once it is graded without having to pay extra for the subgrades, which I felt was ideal for the situation at hand. However, I get subgrades on a very large majority of my CGC cards, so I feel that would be the case for me with Beckett as well.
CGC is the newest competitor to the trading card scene. This means that they have a lot of experience when it comes to grading — grading trading cards is just an extension to their already very large business.
Not only do they provide detailed information on the condition of the card, but they also make the case look nicer and have a more official vibe.
Lastly, but not something that should be overlooked, are the maximum values for each tier. Once you get to dealing with some higher end cards, you will outgrow some of the lower service levels, forcing you to pick some of the higher-level service levels. This does cost more money, but also means a faster turnaround time and full protection of your card.
On top of that, a lot of the service levels have a card minimum, meaning you might have trouble submitting cards even after you have a membership. Now, if you are going to be grading on a relatively consistent basis, or just like the idea of doing this yourself, getting a membership is going to be a good idea.
With CGC, the higher the membership you get, the cheaper each submission will be for you, meaning the membership will eventually pay for itself. I went with the elite membership because I know I will get use out of it and I liked the benefits it had to offer.
That is not a requirement by any means, though and you should select the one that has the benefits that fit you the best. The best membership option will vary for each person, so I recommend just looking at the cost and benefits of each and deciding for yourself. PSA was founded in and has been authenticating collectibles ever since.
They handle a ton of sports cards, their main function along with other sports memorabilia and coins of all kinds. They grade a very large number of cards every day. The company is owned by Collectors Universe. For perspective, despite the brief shutdown and delays due to the virus, PSA reported that general period still managed to be the busiest they have ever had.
For starters, a common misconception is that a membership is required to submit cards to PSA, this is simply not true. Bulk service levels are where you submit many cards, currently a minimum of twenty and pay a low price in exchange for a very long wait. For context, my earliest one of these still at PSA is from June and I have no expectation of receiving it back any time soon. The bulk service level is still a great thing to utilize, as it does let you submit cards at a lower cost. As for the monthly specials, most of the time they are not going to benefit you at all.
They always benefit someone out there, which is great for grading, but that someone is not always you. Without a membership, you still have access to all the faster and more expensive of course, service levels.
This means you can submit your cards, monitor their progress and have full control over the entire experience without paying the yearly membership fee. On their website they have on-site grading where you can submit. Feel free to email at daniel vintagemagic.
