The reason BGS graded Wrestling All Stars sell for a fraction of PSA....

1982 BGS 9 Fabulous Moolah


This is a card that has yet to surface in PSA 9 or higher. Take a look at this awful example of a mint card. This right here is why BGS graded Wrestling All Stars will never even be in the same conversation of their PSA counterparts!

There are many experts on this board and I doubt anyone could say this is mint. I have suggested Beckett is in trouble and with the current price guide that came out they lowered the price per magazine for subscription holders to $1.78.

The market knows what is coming.

    It is such a gamble with the BGS graded one's. I have had about a 40% cross over rate with sending in the holders and a little better cracking them out.

    Either way this card is brutal for a 9 and certainly won't be the first PSA 9 Moolah. Her card is very tough with bad centering and a print error that runs across the card.

    Here is an example where the print error is not bad. I have a PSA 9(PD) that is awesome but has the printing issue that is quite distractive.

    I certainly wouldn't consider those who collect wrestling cards to be indicative of the market.

    PSA, SGC and Beckett are equal counterparts but they all over/under grade on occasion. Coming on these boards and stomping your feet only at every perceived mistake that Beckett makes only serves to have you not taken seriously, even with this board full of PSA weighted collectors. Take a break "Chicken Little", the "Henny Pennys", "Goosey Looseys" and "Turkey Lurkeys" here are already on your side.

    I agree that each of the grading companies have their faults but I believe that Dpeck is trying to say that Beckett is a bit looser with their overall grades with the Wrestling All Stars than PSA. I agree and with some other sports cards I am sure it is vice versa.
