Hi! Anyone here familiar with submitting to BGS?
I may submitt some cards that PSA wont grade, and wanted to initiate the process now that they have this end of year sale promo.
Also, wanted to send some autographed cards graded by PSA that may get a higher grade at BGS, how do these fall into bgs service? Is there a “crossgrading” service as in PSA or I have to crack them before?
Thank you!

Usualy when QA2 is “finished” the list of card in the sub is removed, and the grades comes next day. On this sub it’s been 12 days since the list was “removed”. Anyone expirienced that before?
Anything I should be conserned about?
Had 3 other subs in same shipment, all return last week
I know you’re not supposed to, but has anyone ever written a note to their grader? Thinking of writing “please bro just one more ten please bro” on all my card savers.

If I was a grader and saw this then I’d probably give all 9s

Call them ‘chief’ or ‘buddy’ and you’ll never get another 9 again

Really interested to hear if anyone has input to share on this. My list of cards also disappeared, but I didn’t know this was a tell for when grades are about to be revealed.

It means qa2 is in its final stage. It’s usually completed within a few days after then unless here are upcharges or damage they need to communicate in my experience.
My submission also has been in QA2 for over a week and also no longer has the list

My first ever sub was a pristine looking Gengar ex from FRLG and I wrote on the inside flap of the box “Have a nice day :)”
It got a 4

lol. without any knowledge of how it actually works I assume the research and identification department takes the cards out of the box before the grader gets them so I think writing on the card saver would be the only way to reach them. Alternately you could write a note on an energy card and have that be the first card graded.

Any gradingcompany that grades these metal-card anymore.
PSA can authenticate signature, but not slab it.

New PSA return boxes?
Maybe a little bit of an ego there lol

We do them. After a bunch of testing on the new Arceus cards I found a method. But, we don’t authenticate signatures. Maybe SGC does both? I’m not sure.
Really like these, big step up there. I’m a sucker for presentation.
Hi again, anyone could give me someino on this please? 
I like them. There’s something strangely satisfying about opening the box and seeing the full color logo. That satisfaction can quickly diminish though if your sub grades poorly

Has anyone here ever done a CGC Pristine 10 to PSA 10, in-case crossover? Generally I wouldn’t care, but it’s the last card for my full PSA set and it’s bothering me more than it should haha…
I know the general wisdom is crack and submit, but curious if anyone has experience with in-case since the card is too valuable to me to risk cracking.
