I saw this e-mail and it looks like BGS is done with those ugly white labels and are going strictly to silver for grades less than 9.5. Personally, I thought it would have been cool to have a bronze label for really bad grades, but I guess it’s not worth it. Thoughts?
I wouldn’t be surprised if they folded tomorrow. I also wouldn’t be surprised if they lasted another 500 years.
BGS could really be so much greater if they literally focused 1% more of their efforts on their terrible submission processes, order tracking and communication (which to be fair, they seem to finally be doing slowly but surely).
I like BGS slabs but sometimes I feel like I’m in an abusive relationship.
As someone who collects bgs 9s because of the silver only, i dont think they will make tons of money off this. Nobody, not even the most hardcore bgs fan cares about sub 8.5s outside of 1st ed base holos and high end trophies.
So to those people it would be great, but most people are not sitting right now prepping 100 bgs 8s to go in at 10$ because those are cracked or in the garbage
The pushback on that was so amazing, BGS had to come out and say “oh you thought we were serious? that was a joke! we were joking! quick, look at this new website!”
