Anyone have experience with significant Modern crossover from BGS

alifaxwa2

I am thinking of crossing over my BGS Troy Polamalu RC player set (only 19 cards) to PSA.
I have all 9 and 9.5 except for one 8.5.

I will probably be sending the 9.5s in as crossovers with min grade 10. Any that fail to cross would be sold as BGS 9.5 and replaced with purchased PSA 10s.
With the 9s, I am leaning toward cracking the nicest ones to send raw (hoping for a 10 or two) and subbing the rest as crossovers.

Of course the caveat to all this, I am currently researching PSA10vsBGS9.5 and PSA9vsBGS9 sales to decide if I could break even by selling all the BGS and buying equivalent PSA grades. The results of that may make this whole questioning pointless.

Anyone have any relevant experience they might share with me?
Thanks

I would crack and sub them all if you want them in PSA cases, personally I would leave as is.

about 80% of the BGS 9.5s i've sent in as crossovers crossed succesfully. Out of the other 20% about 10% of those came back as 10s after being cracked and submitted. I recently cracked out a BGS 9 Scottie Pippen rookie with subs of 9.5, 9, 9, 9 and I'm eager to see how that one turns out. BGS has historically been alot tougher on 88 fleer basketball so I'm thinking there is a 65-70% chance that it comes back a 10. I'll let you guys know how it turns out. I sent my sub in almost 2 weeks ago and contacted PSA the other day about it not being logged in yet and they said they are behind on logging subs into the system....lol.

I've had BGS 8.5s come back as 10s. They were cracked out, not crossovers.

I recently crossed over a Jordan signature BGS9 to PSA 9 just fine.

Took a 69 Mantle Yellow letters in a Beckett Raw Grade 8 to a PSA 8. I have a bunch that I would like to cross, and few 8.5's that I think are deserving of a 9.
