Bgs 9.5 vs psa 9?

Overrated

What is the difference? witch has more value. looking at tiger woods si for kids, one Bgs 9.5 vs Psa 9 1996 card?

A bgs 9.5, without question. Even if the other were a PSA 10, it would be a big difference.

Well since the BGS 9.5 is "suppose to be" the PSA 10 equivalent, I'm gonna go with the BGS 9.5 . I think another question to throw in would be: Which is better a BGS 9.5 or a PSA 10?

Neither
I've been doing this long before PSA and Beckett were even glints in the eyes of the money making machines they are
I've seen 5's resubmitted and coming back as 9's and I've seen 9's cracked out hoping for a 10 and coming back Not holdered eveidence of trim or in a new 7 holder.

I've seen Beckett 9's cracked out and placed in a 10 holder with 1/2 of the persons arm trimmed off

I've tried going the PSA/SGC/BGS/GAI route for almost 8 years after swearing I would never use any when they came out.

All it is is marketing to get business

I would tend to agree with the above. Also, keep it in the holder that sells for the highest amount. Or if you're a collector, keep it in the holder that displays best for you if you don't plan on selling it soon.

Sir, how dare you. PSA does nothing but consistently give accurate grades by using strict guidelines and accurate assessment, especially on submission #620841. I can't believe that you would dare to question their methods and marketing strategies, because they have been placing cards in the right slabs for years now, and I expect they will do the same for submission #620841. PSA and its employees have earned a tremendous amount of respect freom me, especially the guy grading subission #620841.

Buttering up the grader for your submission. Shamefull.

The BGS 9.5 is guaranteed 100% trimmed, so I'm going to go with the PSA 9.
