Hey all
Just wondering if its worth my money to send cards off to BGS. To my understanding, the Pokemon community doesnt trust BGS grading unless its a 9 or higher, and even then if the sub grades are not to their liking they dont trust the 9 grade.
We do a bulk submission with our local hobby shop ( 99% of it is hockey cards ) and im thinking of sending off some Pokemon later in the month.
The cost to me is $15CDN all in per card.
The cards im considering are: ( I would think these cards are most likely between BGS 8 and 8.5 )
Im very hesitant to call any of these 9s, but thats because ive never graded Pokemon with BGS.
- Base Set Unlimited Charizard
- Base Set Shadowless Zapdos
- Base Set 1st Edition Shadowless Machamp
- Neo Destiny Shining Charizard
- Neo Destiny Shining Kabutops
- Neo Destiny Shining Steelix
- Neo Destiny Shining Mewtwo
I also have 2 Base Set Shadowless Charizards. Not the best condition, most likely between BGS 5 - 6
Also, a follow up question. Is it worth it to get other unlimited WOTC Holos graded?
I feel I have very strong:
- Lugia
- Hitmontop
- Snorlax
- Jolteon
- Articuno
But is it worth to grade the “lower end” unlimited stuff if they dont come back 9.5?
Wish I could upload clear pics showing what im concerned with for each card but I cant seem to get the lighting to work =S
Thanks in advance for your input
