Grading Autographed Kobe Card PSA or BGS?
 

I have these three different autographed Kobe cards that I picked up raw. Does anyone have an opinion on the best service to use to get cards like this graded? I usually would use PSA for grading, but maybe for autographed cards I should use BGS? Opinions?

Hello, David,

Great question. From experience on the B/S/T on Blowout and watching eBay sales, I would encourage you to bring your business to BGS. The colors seem to pop more in their holders relative to the dullness of PSA for modern cards, and a favorable 9.5 card/10 auto will bring a good audience to your cards in the event you decide to part with them. Though a flat PSA 10 would financially be a higher premium than a BGS 9.5, I believe you have better chances with BGS both for grading, for protection, and for selling in circumstances such as these.

Thanks for the feedback. I don't really do modern cards much, but it seems like BGS has a good following in the newer cards. I've never submitted a card to PSA that got a 10. So I doubt I should even assume such a thing could happen!
