How to Submit to BECKETT BGS for grading and authentication Sports Cards and TCG Cards

[@hhh2316]

I don't even need any of the grading candidate holders, but after seeing how that other company went after you I bought some anyway. Well done not caving to the pressure

[@GRADEDCARDINVESTOR]

Thanks, man! I appreciate the support and the feedback! I hope you're impressed with the quality of the holders!

[@GRADEDCARDINVESTOR]

[@ThatsSoGiorgio]

This truly helps a lot! I took a look at the submission form and got overwhelmed. I needed someone to hold my hand just like when my dad helped me do my taxes when I first started working at 17. Lmao.

[@kingg_roast259]

The fact that this is 100 percent true lol.

[@wingnut6658]

Thanks man , very helpful, I think all grading company's need to simplify this process and offer more options. Hopefully with more competition will come better pricing and a more user friendly process....I guess time will tell.

[@GRADEDCARDINVESTOR]

Better pricing would be 👍 just like the good old days lol. Thanks for the feedback! 🙏🏼

[@la81dodgers88]

Great video bro. You pretty much gave me some insight on how to submit my cards to BGS. The packing part of the submitting is what concerns me the most. What the cards grade is all in fun and hopefully something comes back a 10, which is what we’re all hoping for. Granted some will come back lower grades, but shouldn’t matter if some are for your personal collection. Regarding your very last comment about the number grade towards the end. I’ve come to notice that a lot of older cards from the mid 80’s and older are starting to see popularity with 9’s. Being that 9.5 and 10’s are nearly impossible to get for these years and sets. Prime example: 1986 Topps Jerry Rice. So a 9(with or without a couple of high subgrades) in the long run isn’t always a bad thing especially if you do it for long term investment as well. 👍🏼

[@montana01]

Beckett allows you to submit your cards on a excel file as well; which is WAY easier if you are semi-familiar with basic functions on excel. I'm pretty sure BGS then takes that and enters it into the system; which is why now they are STRONGLY encouraging people to online submit.

[@crandy1124]

Thank you so much. I was scared that I would lose my cards. You explained everything.

[@progga7326]

Dude you absolutely killed it with this video. Thank you so much, that was so helpful ❤

[@mlamarr25]

If you contact a representative you can get a editable pdf and fill that out. Also I usually submit a few hundred cards at a time and use an excel sheet for that. I copy the colum headers in the form and print that out.

[@GRADEDCARDINVESTOR]

Thanks for the info! I tried to do the PDF myself but failed. I may look more into. I like the Excel copy and paste idea, sounds like a huge time saver for bulk!

Thanks Matt - I still dont wanna go though the hassle of sending to beckett LOL - I hope they get online fixed soon where its more user friendly.

[@GRADEDCARDINVESTOR]

Yes, sir 👍🏻 I'm excited to get this submission back! I can only see this being a hassle if you were to submit like over 100 cards or something. It really wasn't as bad as it looks lol.

[@livinwithlt]

Thank you for another great video, brother 🤙🏽 I’m going to do my first ever submission with them. PSA, I ain’t waiting around for them.

[@GRADEDCARDINVESTOR]

Nice! I'm super pumped to get these back and add BGS to the list of options for me. I'm becoming more and more of a fan with certain cards. I'd be curious to know what cards you submit and the grades you got! I appreciate the feedback and support, brother! 🙏🏻

[@hartsmotorcompany]

I remember the old days where BGS was king. They need to follow PSA and close down for bit. BGS is going to way of Sears at this point. Hope you enjoyed that Duncan rookie.

[@RyanHayesJAX]

This aged well. Nice call!

[@hartsmotorcompany]

@@RyanHayesJAX even a broke clock is right twice a day

[@johnw2290]

I’ll be honest with you, the last 4 cards (separate orders) I sent to BGS with the Premium and Express services, I only used the Ground shipping service. Every time, after I got the shipping notification, it only took 2 or 3 days to get them. I’m not sure the express saver will get them to you any faster than that. Also, a paper cutter works great for cutting the cardboard. Not just for grading submissions, but if you sell any raw cards in top loaders or as added protection for graded cards. Super easy to cut it to size. Great video though. Really enjoy your content.

[@JasonGuinto73]

thanks for the beckett submission process!

[@brymanstotallyawesomecolle2717]

Nice. I might have to try these out when I need some again

[@bobcrane2720]

I've seen Beckett slab 54 Sports Illustrated cards as 'auth altered' which would be pretty good, but cust svc said they won't. Also, '37 Joe Dimaggio and '50 Jackie Robinson flip books are eligible, I wonder if they'll grade a card from the flip books as altered (since it's only 1 page from a flip book.) Those are my main interest in Beckett, since my signed Nolan Ryan rookies seem to have a better valuation in a PSA holder and most of the things I can think of PSA has a stronger valuation than BVG in general. The only downside is that PSA seems to be dropping high grades for qualifiers with the same grading system everyone uses. If it's the manufacturers fault, it should be a qualifier grade. I have a sharp centered card with a stain and another with a blue slurpie print defect (both dual signed Nolan Ryan rookies.)

[@individualg8383]

For the plastic it doest particularly have to be in a card saver 2 holder if can be used? Guess any semi rigid is all good for Becket?

[@ferzap4c]

hey matt, just a quick question: for those auto cards. Does BGS grade the signature as well or is it a separate process?

No, I don't but there is a list of stores that do. I referenced it in the video. I'm sure there are local businesses around you that will do a group

[@treate1977]

what about encased cards from the manufacturer? should you take the card out of the encasement and then put the card in thick stock card loaders?

[@pearspeedruns]

Good question. Probably worth asking in a card group.

How does the declared section work? Is that what the card is marketed at, or is that what you physically paid for it?

[@nathandiaz3742]

Thanks for the video bro. I’m stuck on the declared value on a Black Disco Prizm 2020 select card for Luke Kuechly one of one. What should I put for the declared value? I seen a Tom Brady black disco on eBay selling for $9000 ungraded. Idk what I should put as the declared value

just want to ask .. i has bag 10 pristine but has a crack up right and the labels move to right .. could i reslabbing the card .? :)

[@MisterResistance101]

Hey I just sent my cards to Beckett using that exact address that you had on your package but I just got a notification saying that my package is being returned to sender. Did Beckett change their address or something?

[@pearspeedruns]

I think they changed locations at some point.

[@ThunderCards96]

you have shoed me a lot thanks you

[@GRADEDCARDINVESTOR]

Thanks! I'm glad to have helped 👍🏻

[@theobarraudgymnastics]

Helpful video. one question though, if your shipping internationally what currency should you use?

[@greggearin7940]

will my card be charged after do they do the grading? or when they receive the package?

[@Sentinel-USA]

amazing video. thank you.

[@OG-dl2hy]

could you do a video updating the new process?

[@andrewsplinter1785]

Sorry man if a dumb question, but I'm about to use Beckett for the first time. If my card has an Auto on it, will that automatically be graded along with my card grade? Or do i need to fill out a different form? I didn't see anything on the form ask about auto grading... Thanks

[@ChristopherSmithNYC]

How do you prep thicker relic cards for grading?

[@DUKEBLADE]

Thank you for the video. Do you put your card details on the form? Personally that makes me worry to have my card details and address in the same place.

[@riversvera]

This was really helpful but I just wanna make sure about the declared value, can you put any value or does it have to be a specific one if it hasn’t been graded yet?

[@pearspeedruns]

It should be roughly what it’s worth with relation to comps. Beckett has you include that in the event something were to happen to your cards, for insurance purposes.

[@tonyfujihira7531]

Hey Mat,what is the best price for grading.

[@20blockrecords54]

The submission form says no standard submission and is the lowest fee each card $30 because thry said it was changed?

[@xtbaleaderx]

question, declared value is based off a grade of 10? and how accurate do you need to be with the value?

[@myles3605]

When BGS sets up at a show, how much are they charging? I thought about going to a show and trying to get some stuff graded

[@Gabriel83580]

You mentioned the declared value of the card should be,the price after the card gets graded. But we would not know what grade they would give us. Do we declare/assuming a grade 10? Or should it be a face value as is before grade? Also how often in your experience have you received a Black Label case back?

[@ryanlamb8458]

Honestly, I was wondering the same thing??? That's a huge declared value if I'm assuming all my cards will come out with a 10. I really think you should head to tcg player, check the price range of the card ungraded. Use the most recent sales of the ungraded cards to estimate your declared value.

[@jackstcgcorner]

Is the declared value in 10? Or what grade would the declared value be?

[@johnstiller2852]

When do u pay or they take out payment once they authenticated

[@gabrieltorres4418]

For your auto cards who do you recommend?

[@joes80]

? Does thickness of card considered oversized. Thanks great Video.

[@GRADEDCARDINVESTOR]

No, I believe it's referring to the height and width. Larger than the standard 2.5" x 3.5" trading card.

[@kaitsab3990]

So after you get your cards and ur paper submitted to Beckett. You have to pay online after right?

Matt, can you please send me the link to your store, and also let me know what type of card saver I should purchase to submit cards. Is it #2? Thank you.

[@normalizboringsportscards4181]

Nice Vid, thX

[@alexl6487]

Can i use regular top loaders as well wen i send off for grade

[@michaelmaxson7574]

would you recommend writing the service level on the outside of the box so that they know it's "economy" or "express", etc

[@Pccpy]

Always do that, PSA or BGS.

[@edwinbjorgen3790]

Wonderful content, thanks, very informative. $35 a card , you had better make sure the card is worth sending in.

[@GRADEDCARDINVESTOR]

They've actually lowered their prices recently - I think as low as $17. Check their website to see. 👍🏻

[@SheeshManess]

So what happens when you have like a 1 of 1 where the value is really up in the air or something out of a new set that has yet tbd value wise? And how is pricing determined for sending in cards?

[@gino1605]

So we don’t need to do the online submission form? We can just do the print out and put it in the box?

how can you declare a value post grading when you don't know what grade it will receive?

Do they send top loaders back? Or do they keep them?… Thx… Regards

[@GRADEDCARDINVESTOR]

They do not send them back. They probably throw them away, not 100% sure on that.

[@pearspeedruns]

I don’t know if it’s true, but I’ve heard they cut them open to get the cards out easier, with lower risk of damage.

[@sammolter9448]

Becket has closed submissions for all services except 250$ express as of june 6 no more submissions, and they will send cards back submitted after that..The first step now is finding a card worth grading for $250

In your experience what grade company is most reputable ?

I have submitted 2 cards in the last month paid for the premium service it ended up $300 a card. both came back within a week and both got 9.5's. I had no problems at all..

[@sanjuandiaz]

Is there a sizable difference in value with subgrades versus no subgrades? I mean, the overall grade is what's important, right?

[@GRADEDCARDINVESTOR]

Sub-grades are what Beckett is known for so the majority of collectors do like them, however, they are not required on some cards. I have a few BGS graded cards I bought without sub-grades that were BGS 9.5. On some cards, you definitely want to have them but for most it's not that important. Lebron James Exquisite RPA YES get them, 2018 Panini Prizm Jayson Tatum SIlver Prizm - Not that important... Get my drift?
