Question about BGS grading!

[C.Fortson]

Since I have had no replies on the Football talk forum, I'll try here:

I have never had a card graded before, but I would like to send one in to get graded. How do I do that? I have a subscription to the Beckett Mag. and there is an invoice form in there, but I'm a little unclear about what to do. Do I just fill out the invoice form in the Mag. rip it out, send it to their address with the cards and the check, or do I have to fill out something online. Could someone please just walk me through it.

All you have to do is fill out the form and send it in with your payment and the cards you're submitting

[C.Fortson]

ok, and how should I package the cards?

[montej1695]

Heres the easiest way, unless you're in a super rush to get those cards graded. The next time you have a relatively large card show beckett may be there onsite providing grading services. You can either A) Get the card raw graded (Wont be in that pretty slab) or B) Fill out the paperwork on the spot and give the cards to the Beckett rep to have them graded at the Beckett facility.

IMO its the easiest and safest way to go about it.

Good Luck!

Well, it's a Lebron Topps Chrome RC so i would kind of like to get it graded fast in case he wins the Champ. But I think I got it all figured out guys, besides i don't really know what to send it in? It's just one card so can I just have it in penny sleeve top loader team bag sandwiched between two pieces of cardboard inside a bubble mailer?

that will work! good luck!

that card is valued over $100, I'd use a postage box rather than bubble mailer to protect from bending, box is like $1@walmart
