I have the opportunity to grade a gold star charizard that is MINT. It has one noticeable spot of whitening on the back, but is otherwise flawless. I got a good price on this and would like to grade and sell it quickly. I know that PSA is usually the way to go for pokemon grading. That said, their 3month+ wait time is killer for someone like me that will not really have any capital to work with until I make some sales. I know that for grades of 9 and up, Bgs is usually pretty reputable. I think there is a small chance it could hit the 9.5 Gem mark, but am banking on a 9. My question is do you think a BGS 9 would sell for 900-1000$? (The PSA 9s are going for around 1000$ on ebay right now). Also, in the small chance it hit 9.5 BGS, do you think it would sell around the same price as a PSA 10? There are no BGS graded gs zards in sold listings or active listings. also, inb4sandpaperjokes.
English?
If so, a BGS 9.5 has a snowballs chance of bringing in what a PSA 10 would. Maybe a BGS 9 would get 700.00 and a 9.5 may bring in 2000?
Subgrades matter too.
9.5 9.5 9 9 = BGS 9
8.5 9 9 9 = BGS 9
I highly recommend using PSA. For a card like the gold star Charizard you’re best off using one of their higher service levels. I think when I graded mine it was on a 5-day special and ended up being approximately $35 what with shipping and all. Got done in two weeks.
All my submissions have been much faster in the last month I don’t think PSA is as backed up as they once were
Yes sorry, it is english. Centering is perfect, edges don’t have any white spots, foil is without scratches as far as I can tell. There is a white nic in the center of the top on the back of the card. and sheesh I didn’t realize it was that large of a disparity. thanks Gary
oh? I didn’t realize this
I’ve always used a PSA middleman service. Are these expedited orders available typically when signing up?
That “nic” is usually damage from pulling the card out of a binder page. Another reason to dump binders;)
