Need advice on Beckett Grading...

[Red Star]

Hey everyone,

Thanks in advance for stopping by and reading....and possibly offering up some advice.

Here goes:
I recently subscribed to Beckett and received two free card gradings. Here is my dilemna. Which cards should I grade? PC? Trade bait? Is it not worth it?

I'd love it if people could check out my bucket and see if there are any that they'd suggest for grading.

Thanks again!

I would grade PC cards.... The reason I like BGS for PC cards is because they provide another level of protection...

Check out the story about the guy in New Orleans who lost almost his entire collection, save for the hundred of cards he had graded by BGS that survived without a problem (I believe his PSA's didn't fare too well)....

Also, when choosing, pick the cream of the crop... Even though it is PC, you want to have the highest possible grade... and the Gold 9.5 label looks a lot nicer than the silver 9...

i agree to go with pc stuff. Unless you have a high-end rc that you are looking to sell.

DOn't get me started on the New Orleans guy. 2 years earlier, my apartment burned to the ground. Lost all my cards except those in BGS holders. The edges were all toasty but the cards were fine. I asked beckett and they said, sure, send them in, sign this waiver and we will re-slab them right. Fair enough.
Then, the new orleans guy writes in, same story just with a better backdrop (katrina). they send the guy like $2000 worth of boxes. I was happy for him but I was so irked by that.

Sorry for the rant. But, that said, BGS holders hold up to raging fires!!

Yeah. I think I might submit one of my TT Charger auto cards and maybe the PR Contenders.

Thanks for the advice!
