Is there anyone here who can help me with sending a card to BGS, and how much it would cost all in?
I recently picked up another 1st ed JP ray star and this thing is a beauty. At least from first glance the centering is perfect, there are no scratches, no whitening etc etc. I have yet to take out of the sleeve and toploader yet and will save that till a bit later - but if it is this perfect I’d be hoping for a black label xD . I already have 3 in PSA 10 and don’t really see the need for a 4th lol.
It seems to want to charge $60 for one card bring the order to nearly $100 in total. I’m hoping there’s someone here who sends to them regularly who would be able to do it a lot cheaper.
Here in Vancouver we have a group submission with one of the card shops ( has now closed down but is still online / present at all the shows / and a personal friend )
It is mainly for sports cards but people sometimes send non sport. We send in cards by the 100s so our cost per card is very cheap.
It is approx. $15CDN a card for a 1 month turn around. Of course, if youre not in the Vancouver area you would have to add 2X shipping costs on top of that.
On the Black Label side … this is near impossible to get. BGS 9.5 is much more attainable, and in the sports card world, PSA 10 = BGS 9.5, I know its a different story when it comes to Pokémon. I have sent about 50 cards over the last few submissions and the closest I have gotten to a 10 ( not even Black Label ) is 10, 10, 9.5, 9.0.
The only BGS 10 Black Label cards seem to be Canvas Young Guns ( Hockey ), though I do see Prizm cards grade very well in other sports.
Shoot me a message if you would like some more info. I know im a newbie here, but ive been online since 2004, with almost 1000 positive feedback on ebay, another 550+ on SCF and verified trusted trader ( new to this site ) because of my other feedback avenues.
