its only a matter of time (a few years only) before PSA becomes more popular/ dominant in modern cards as they are in vintage.....as a one time big-time BGS collector, i have been very diasspointed by them in recent years....the more diasspointed i get with BGS though, the more happy i am with PSA!
<< <i>fandango, I'll have to try some PSA subs with the modern stuff and compare results. One must go where the money follows. halosfan, won't take much effort to answer your question. One less bidder when there are zero isn't going to make a difference. eBay has killed so much of my time for what little return I get that I'm tempted to sell just about every card I own, start from mainly scratch, and and go back to the old days when I'd grab a few cards at local shows and keep it as a hobby only... after which case my user id would be irrelevent. Yep, I screwed up the list price and paid the venue twice for it. The other guy is out nothing minus the two seconds to hit the bid button. This used to be advertised as a legal (if shady) manuver but not sure it still is. >>
i have sent in numerous BGS slabbs to crossover to PSA, and its amazing how many come back trimmed! It makes me furious that i could be purchasing cards that are deemed trimmed, yet are in BGS holders.....not to mention i lose the grading fee, shipping and insurance, and my card comes back still in a BGS holder..YUCK

i buy to collect, i dont resell
So why is that a problem? $11....$15......not much difference there.
If $4 makes or breaks you....you are in the wrong business.
As for trying to make money buying raw recent stuff, slabbing it and hoping for 10's.... Good luck.
You'll go broke real fast.

I think he meant the other guy. The shill.
<< <i>You mean a very cherry Roger Clemens rookie (okay, not really his rookie; that's his 1984 Fleer Update) like that one is in a bargin bin along with obscure singles/inserts and such? I find that hard to believe. What's next, Upper Deck Griffey rookies in a bargin bin?
I really did get that Clemens in a 60% off bargain bin at a local show Saturday. This kind of thing happens when dealers get tunnel vision with all the new chrome crud out there. Yes Virgina, good raw can still be found since not all dealers mess with slabs.
