    Question for you Basketball Experts

    I recently picked up a set of 2009-10 Exquisite Rookies. They arrived today and all look to be in great shape. I'm thinking of submitting some for grading. Here's my question:

    Am I better to go with PSA or BGS?
    Which ones should I get graded?

    With regards to who I should get graded, I think it goes without saying that Griffin, both Curry's, both Rubio's and the Tyreke Evans should go in if I do get any graded. Are there any others that it would be worth grading. FYI, here's the list of who's in there:

    43 Blake Griffin
    44 Ricky Rubio AU
    45 James Harden AU
    46 Tyreke Evans
    47 Brandon Jennings
    48 James Johnson AU
    49 Earl Clark AU
    50 Chase Budinger AU
    51 DeJuan Blair
    52 BJ Mullens AU
    53 Darren Collison AU
    54 Tyler Hansbrough
    55 Sam Young AU
    56 Marcus Thornton AU
    57 Jeff Teague AU
    58 Jonny Flynn AU
    59 Terrence Williams
    60 Gerald Henderson AU
    61 Hasheem Thabeet
    62 Ty Lawson
    63 Eric Maynor AU
    64 Stephen Curry AU
    65 Demar Derozan
    66 Patrick Mills
    67 Jordan Hill
    68 Derrick Brown AU
    69 Wayne Ellington AU
    70 Dajuan Summer AU
    71 Eric Maynor AU
    72 Stephen Curry AU
    73 Ricky Rubio AU
    74 James Harden AU
    75 James Johnson AU
    76 Sam Young AU
    77 Gerald Henderson AU
    78 BJ Mullens AU
    79 Jonny Flynn AU

    Any input is appreciated.

    everyone of them will be more valuable, as long as they get a high grade.

    Amazing that you were able to grab a full set of rookies!

    When submitting, send it to BGS. For newer cards, they seem to provide a higher resale value if you're planning to break them up.

    Before submitting them, to make it worth your while...check the surface condition on these cards. The 09-10 Exquisite cards are prone to surface dings, as well as manufacturer lines which are only visible if you hold the card at a certain angle. Check all 8 corners as well.

    Anyways, good luck with your grades!

    And by the way, I'm not sure if you've seen the BGS population report, but it's very tough to get high grades on 09-10 Exquisite cards.

    Out of 313 total cards graded from the regular set,

    40 have graded a BGS 9.5 - that's less than 13% of the total submissions
    159 have graded a BGS 9 - which is about 50% of the total submissions

    So take those values into consideration before making your submissions.

    i was actually going to post almost this exact question...glad i read this...is it the majority opinion that BGS has higher resale value then PSA? Im also looking to send a set out to be graded but am wondering the same thing...I only saw one person suggest BGS has higher resale value....anyone else have an opinion?
