Goes to show that you don’t just grade every card that’s a big/cool card. Just grade the ones that look like they could actually get a 10
This...
Yep lmao why I spend extra time looking over RPA's the thicker they are the worse they will grade IMO
EXACTLY 💯 Do people not realize with alllllll the cards they're sending in that it actually causes values to drop? At least these were mainly hits. I've seen dumbasses send base/#d cards in. Why send in a card that is worth what a lot are just to try and make a few bucks? Used to be, before the covid invasion, people were a bit more selective. People have gone crazy in this hobby the last few years. I'd like to just have all the $$ he's gonna spend Xs2 to get them graded twice. Only people with deep pockets/investors grade like this, not TRUE collectors. SMDH.
Everybody wants their cards to get gem mint, but nobody seems to want to acknowledge the grade of the card is the grade before the grading is done. It's not schrodingers grade where every card is a 10 it just depends on the grader. I love that BGS isn't throwing 10s around like nothing. A 10 means 10 out of 10. No better. Nothing wrong, flawless perfect. But a PSA 10? That's anything from an 8.5 to a 10. If you're taking a test and get 85 out of 100 did you get a perfect 100%? NO!
Send them to PSA I wanna see that crossover video
That Auto on Olave Gold Prizm Rpa is Carson Strongs😅
its got to be a tough life to hunt for cards of all sports, get them all graded like this and barely see any profit from it
Still better than mine bc I’m too broke to grade
Same😂
Same
Thanks biden
Same
Only 15$ to grade SGC
Tell me you dont know what youre doing without telling me you dont know what youre doing
EXACTLY 💯 😂
I know a teeny tiny itty bit of what I’m doing but a 6 is abominable
@@andrewcaroselli3189 I mean, the fact that you just grade stuff because it "looks cool" hoping to get a high grade says a lot. Maybe it's just for content, but expecting 9.5s on thick stock Panini cards is a little much. Sure, every company really fucks up the some cards, but 8.0 is what you should expect grading cards with literally 8 corners and 8 edges, Paninis notoriously bad surfaces (on thicker stock cards) and when you already point out that you don't send something to PSA due to the poor centering. We all send stuff we just like in for grading, but being annoyed they don't gem speaks volumes
some of those cards are still worth more than my coolection lol
There’s that Carson strong auto on the Chris olave 😂😂
2:50 - I would not crack any Honors cards out of their casing. They are buy backs that they hand number and don't bother stamping (stamps used to identify most buy backs). Its a headache to try and prove you have a real Honors buyback.
Yikes man, that was harsh
Man you got hammered! 😮
Love your videos bro
Something must have happened in the shipping process
Honestly should’ve sent them to PSA in the first place
PSA should offer a service for cracking cards for you.
By the way, 8.5 is the gold standard for thick RPA cards . That’s actually a good grade
Send them to psa and turn those bgs 8.5 and 9s into psa 8s. These thick cards probably average an 8.5, so not really that surprising. I think you went into this with too high of expectations. Also as a tip, always make sure. You’re checking out the backs on these things, sometimes they grade the backs tough.
This is just proof of how difficult it is to get good grades from BGS. SINCE the boom in 2020, BGS 9.5's have gone down in value and have become really disrespected for ni reason. It tells me a lot of newer collectors still don't understand the grading services. It doesn't have to have a 10 on it to be a GEM. (Fantastic cards in the submission though!)
And some say BGS blindly hands out Gem Mint grades. Obviously not true. When a card is a BGS true gem, it’s the same quality card as a PSA 10.
RPAs rarely grade well. Assumed everyone knew that. 😅 Sooooo, do you wish you would've went with PSA now? Thanks for sharing! 🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈 Take Care/Stay Safe ✌
I’ve graded at least a thousands cards, 6 is insane
@@andrewcaroselli3189 I saw a guy that sent in cards to PSA. Just got them back and there was a card graded 1. A brand new card- 1. I've seen tobacco baseball cards torn that grade better than that. WTF??? Assumed maybe it was a 10 and the 0 didn't get typed in. No waaaay a 1. Had NEVER seen a 1 with a brand new card. 😂 I keep seeing stories. I wanted to send in a couple Mahomes rookies for my PC. Never grade cards, but now afraid to. 😂
Most channels all say send your thick cards to BGS? Might think twice after watching this absolute beat down!
Why do you grade rpas? Theres no added value unless psa 10, which is rare
How much money was burning on the grading fees... Damn bruh no roi there at all. Even 9.5 aren't an insane bump on cards that aren't super desirable.
EXACTLY
Thanks for showing why NOT to send to BGS.
Don't judge on this. Thick cards always grade like this and he should've known that. 😅
That was brutal, definitely crack them and send them to psa, worst case scenario you get the same grades but they’ll be worth more in a psa slab.
And waste twice as much $$$ doing it.
Yeah I’m surprised they graded the Olave Gold, auto isn’t his
I didn’t realize until later smh
You gotta crack them, even a PSA 7 is better than a bgs 7
You sent alot of thicker cards, im not too surprised of your grades alot of time a 9 or 8.5 is very good for those thick cards. You gotta really be realistic about the thick cards bro
EXACTLY 💯 How does someone that uses cards as a business NOT kniw thar? SMDH
Did my first ever submission with them and not only did they take 8 months to grade but they sent my cards to the wrong address. I have been fighting with their poor CS for months now
You still didn’t get them back ? That’s a nightmare scenario.
nope and now their CS refuses to respond@@tampahomeinvestorsllc7559
Man that's the worst i've seen yet lol dang bro the grader was in a shit mood
No, he sent in mainly thick RPAs. It is normal for them to grade like that that's why most don't grade every halfway decent card they get. Only people in it for $$$.
This is why they should switch over the computer/robot grading someone at Beckett was clearly having a bad day now you pay for that
Thick cards always grade like this. He should've known that before sending them. And cards like 1/1s 2/2s, etc...do not need to be graded in the 1st place.
SGC or PSA I would crack them
thats rough lol. Sad that a grading company doesnt know Panini Honors and what type of product it is. Send to PSA.
Thick cards rarely get a 9.5 also check the surface on the back
Top to bottom centering on the pink Lawrence is bad.
I had 3 cards take months!!! Slabs are loose and grades suck. I will not use bgs again.
Becketts a joke
Why did they do so bad good content btw
First
I think someone at BGS must not like your channel or maybe your grader hasn’t been laid in a few years or his wife took the house and kids and he’s just mad at the world and he decided to take out his life problems on your grading order…man that was rough…my condolences…anyone thinking of sending any cards to BGS anytime soon? 😂
You have to crack every single one and send them to PSA!! Have to, have to, have to. Plus it would make an awesome video!! Get the wire cutters and flat heads out boys!
