Hi,

Thanks in advance

Is the flip card a 55T? Or pre-war? If it is a star card and you think it is a undergraded in this holder. Gia go for about 20 to 25 percent less than the big 3 graded holders. I would go ahead with the cross over if your selling it. And BVG is a tuff grader so you may loss a 1/2 grade to 1 1/2 from a GIA holder. Which wouldn't help your value much. Dont spend money to make money unless you really make a big enough percentage profit. Hope you got the card for a great price. Lets see a scan if you have time.
Also I may be in the market for your 69 decal Rose for trade. Give me a PM - John

Edit: I don't think your going to get the same results with your GIA as you did with the PSA - you did get a really good price for that card on E-Bay. But it would be sweet if you could do it again.

yeah it would if I can it again.Here is the card that I am considering crossover(btw it is incoming)


Hoping for at least a bvg 9.5 possibly 10?

center is really good - is back the same? Have you checked for print (hickeys) dot that wkould keep it from the best grade? Its a good RC from that set so I do think it is worth the cross over for sell. Sorry when you say flip card I thought of the old flip cards the show a diffrent player on the other side. Nice card good luck and lets us know how it turns out.

yeah the back has nearly 50/50 centering. I bought it from bbcexchange. Should I put min grade as 10? It may receive it. If it doesn't than I would resend it for a 9.5.

[nebboy]

I think I would go with the 9.5 min the first time. It should get a solid $300 at 9.5

[howethegreat]

ok. How much does it cost to crossover and if it reaches the min grade?

[howethegreat]

thanks for your help.

Does anyone have any submitted crossover cards from gai to bvg?

[booyahlaw]

Why not submit to PSA for the crossover? I would imagine that, given the fierce competition between collectors via set registry, that a PSA 10 of that card could bring some decent money in an auction format from people trying to build their registry. I can't imagine that card having too high of a population number at PSA 10.

I am assuming of course you are wanting to crossover for the sole purpose of selling the card. If not, I wouldn't worry about crossing it over.

[howethegreat]

i would cross it to psa but im not a member. I do intend on selling the card. Basically imo the grades that will sell high are psa 10 or bvg 10. bvg 9.5 may get $300-$500
