NEED HELP.......Crossover Question

[cardsnstuff]

Thanks for the answers; I'll probably stop by at SGC and see what they say, I'm probably going to leave them in the holder, for now. Many are high grade, 8's, 9's and a few 10's. So, I guess I have some homework; I need to see market value for an PSA 8 as compared to SGC 9 etc. If they don't cross, I guess I'll make another decision come NAt'l time.

As mentioned before by Perez make sure to scrutinize the surface on your high grade GAI examples. SGC and PSA will both knock considerable points off the grade for surface scuffs, indentations, wrinkles that gAI may have let slip by.

Only thing I would add is with 50+, $500 cards, whatever route you take, you may want to consider breaking it into multiple smaller groups just in case you get a grader having a bad day and also just to get a sampling of how either PSA/SGC handles them. If you submit 10 and the results are not what you expect that is going to hurt a lot less than submitting 50 with same results.

How about this. You put them up for sale on eBay and sell them. Some buyers will keep some and others will crack them out.
The ones that come back cracked out of the slab demanding a refund, send them into SGC.
Saves you the trouble of cracking them.

{HA, HA} The only downside is I get no where near near market value, or nearly as many views compared to my psa stuff, most of the higher end ones I have held back, some I did list to test the waters and some eventually sold near my asking price {with no complaints}. I know about a year and half ago I listed a bunch but {committed a felony by keyword spamming, to try and get more eyes on them} ebay cancelled them, and those haven't been listed since. I do recall putting some at auction with a starting bid of approx 2 grades below, if I recall some sold, many got no bid.

[Goudey77]

How about list them for sale here on Net54 as is?
If the Net54 members understand the provenance of these GAI slabs they might purchase at your asking price.
There are a lot of benefits to selling on the BST (Net54) vs ebay listings. For both buyer and seller.

Sounds like an over whelming decision because the number of cards, grading fees and time.

I get it, actually, something similar happened to me once, 15/30 cards came back auth altered; when I only wanted 1 card that way, because it really measured short,. I cracked and re-subbed others and they either came back with a grade or n/c min zero. But I usually don't play that game it's to costly for me.

BST on Net 54 generally works by the Buyer sending Paypal payment (or other form of payment) 1st. Once payment is received the Seller ships cards and forwards a tracking number to Buyer.

All of my purchase deals (and I have done many) on Net 54 - I have sent payment via Paypal Friends & Family (no recourse). Somewhat risky I suppose but I don't recall very many (if any) deals that have went bad here on the boards. Normally if you get a bad Seller or Buyer they are quickly out'ed and/or booted.

Pretty much everyone here has been here for a long time and there is a level of trust among members that you wont find anywhere else.

Just my 2 cents
