Ryan Rookie BGS 6 -- Crack & Sub???

Posts: 971 ✭✭
I bought this on eBay and it just came in. I am thinking about cracking it and sending it into PSA and I wanted to get some thoughts from the members.
A few points:
1. Got it very cheap -- $196 plus s/h
2. This is an old BGS case with subgrades Centering 5.5, Corners 6, Edges 7, Surface 6 (overall grade is a 6 but you can't see due to reflection)
3. How much will I get hit due to centering?
4. Should I just try and resub to BVG
5. Personal collection so not trying to flip the card.
Scans are from eBay listing. Have not had a chance to scan myself yet.

edited to add....I don't have a lot of experience with submissions...but I think the centering would give the card an OC qualifier!
<< <i>If it is a personal collection, then why does it really matter what the outside number is? All the changing of that number does is increase the fees/value of the card....if you have no intentions of flipping, then LEAVE IT ALONE. >>
True but even for the personal collection, we ALL want the highest graded example we can get!
NM 7: Near Mint.
A PSA NM 7 is a card with just a slight surface wear visible upon close inspection. There may be slight fraying on some corners. Picture focus may be slightly out-of-register. A minor printing blemish is acceptable. Slight wax staining is acceptable on the back of the card only. Most of the original gloss is retained. Centering must be approximately 70/30 to 75/25 or better on the front and 90/10 or better on the back.
EX-MT 6: Excellent-Mint.
A PSA EX-MT 6 card may have visible surface wear or a printing defect which does not detract from its overall appeal. A very light scratch may be detected only upon close inspection. Corners may have slightly graduated fraying. Picture focus may be slightly out-of-register. Card may show some loss of original gloss, may have minor wax stain on reverse, may exhibit very slight notching on edges and may also show some off-whiteness on borders. Centering must be 80/20 or better on the front and 90/10 or better on the reverse.
EX 5: Excellent.
Excellent On PSA EX-5 cards, very minor rounding of the corners is becoming evident. Surface wear or printing defects are more visible. There may be minor chipping on edges. Loss of original gloss will be more apparent. Focus of picture may be slightly out-of-register. Several light scratches may be visible upon close inspection, but do not detract from the appeal of the card. Card may show some off-whiteness of borders. Centering must be 85/15 or better on the front and 90/10 or better on the back.
VG-EX 4: Very Good-Excellent.
A PSA VG-EX 4 card's corners may be slightly rounded. Surface wear is noticeable but modest. The card may have light scuffing or light scratches. Some original gloss will be retained. Borders may be slightly off-white. A light crease may be visible. Centering must be 85/15 or better on the front and 90/10 or better on the back.

I have 90% of my cards as psa, but some I have by other companies and know I will never sell them, so I just leave them in their SGC or BGS holders.
Sometimes I like the diversity on cards I know are staying with me !
grade wise, PSA will probably be really tough on that card or get a big OC next to your #
So if you want the PSA flip to remain consitant ., then do it. (or if you are selling)
otherwise keep it the way it is ....
peace!

<< <i>it looks like a great card. i also do not think it would grade a seven. i would not crack it open. sell it and take the money and put in a little bit more and buy a nice seven. the card looks better then my psa 6 that i have. >>
That is not a bad idea. The more I look at it I kind of feel it won't bump at all with BVG or even cross with PSA. The centering issues alone might prevent it and I am not a fan of the OC qualifier. Other than the centering the card is awesome.
