Grading Opinions Needed

[blametony]

Greetings all,

I had a question I wanted to get some opinions on.

I just purchased a '51 Bowman Mantle BVG 4 for 5,700. I think I paid about right for it.

I'm interested in crossing the card over to PSA. Lots of reasons - I have cards on the Registry, re-sale value, general appeal.

My question is this - Do I send the card in the BVG holder as a crossover, or do I break it out and submit it as raw?

Here are my concerns - If I send it in the holder, I'm concerned that the BVG bias would get me a lower grade than if I send it raw.

If I send it raw, I'm concerned PSA may pick up on something BVG didn't see or let slide. Min Size Requirement etc. Or PSA may give it a significantly lower grade because, well, it's PSA.

Any suggestions on how I should handle this.

As an aside, when I say PSA, I mean SGC as well. Same concerns.

Thanks, all.
