@Regular_P How do you feel about thick cards. Specifically RPA type cards, but even Flawless, NT, Immacculate autos and materials as well. They all seem to get slabbed by BGS.

Even though it seems like every standard cut card goes to PSA these days, the thicc bytches still go to BGS.

For example, my 18 impeccable RPA, 2 have been graded by PSA. Meanwhile 18 have been graded by BGS. It's /25, fwiw.


I'm in the process of subbing another moderate-high value RPA, and I'm deciding between PSA and BGS. PSA has no pop for this /25 RPA. BGS has pop 7.
I think I'll just end up subbing to PSA, just because I like how clean and standard their slab is :yeshrug:
First off, I think PSA's slabs for thick cards is ugly. I don't know how to explain it other than they just don't look good/right.

The bigger reason though is PSA being tougher on edges/corners than BGS. Those thick cards usually have shytty edges and maybe a dinged corner or two. You can still sneak an 8.5-9 at BGS that would be a 7 or lower with PSA.

If you think your card is clean, I'd definitely go PSA. If it comes back a 6 or 7, you could crack and re-sub at PSA or try BGS. I'd almost guarantee you'd get a better grade at BGS.

Not a sports card, but I bought this from a friend today.:manny:.


He was looking to sell them (Gronk and Thomas as well), and then his dad passed away recently, so I just bought it, so he could pay for some funeral expenses.:yeshrug:.

Picked up another one, @Codeine Bryant :ld:

They aren't super rare but the gem rate is insanely low for this set. I haven't seen Press Proofs for anybody yet even though there's a handful out there.

Goldin's site went down again. :mjlol:

I have some cards up too. They're adding another 24 hours for bidding.
Goldin is a mess. PWCC premier >>

Only thing I like about Goldin is that the closing timer resets when a bid is placed

PWCC is scum, though. So I get the Goldin allure

The bids don't reset in PWCC's Premier auction? That's nuts.

Goldin's site is embarrassing. Inexcusable for this to still be happening.

I believe PWCC Premier doesn’t reset. I’ll have to ask my friend, as my peasant ass has never sold anything through PWCC. But he always tells me that Goldin timer reset is GOAT. He removed his 2018 Luka Prizm Blue Ice /99 Gem Mint from PWCC vault to ship to Goldin and sell through their auction. So I assume not?

Also, that meme is so pathetically true.

It’s disgusting how garbage Panini, PWCC, Probstein, eBay, and now even Goldin are and have become.

I guess it was bound to happen once this much money and casual interest flocked to the hobby.

So LaMelo actually is live in NT. I still wouldn't touch this stuff with a ten foot pole but that's gotta be a relief for people holding boxes long term. :ehh:

Probably going to send out a few cards in the next few days. Haven't sent any out before, but I'm going to send at least the Mahomes card. Only other one I might send is a Murray card and possibly a Jalen Hurts.
