PSA or BGS for 92 Bowman Baseball

schapko

I just open a box of 92 Bowman Baseball and got two nice Riveras and two nice Hoffmans. All four are candidates for 10's/9.5's which service in your opinions would command the higher value. Thanks in advance for your advice!

PSA for everything, even modern.

As an example, I've sent in 26 2011 bowman chrome auto cards to psa this year. 18 got a grade of psa 10. The other 8 got a psa 9 grade.
I contend that if I had sent them to BGS most of the psa 9's would have gotten BGS 9, and most of the psa 10's would have gotten BGS 9.5.
With maybe only a couple getting BGS 10, as they are very stingy giving out the 10 grade.

registry will give these a boost in a few years for all the HOF sets.

So Darin, you feel it would be better to have 1 of 1200 psa 10's for greg maddux , than 1 of 85 bgs 9.5's, interesting.

If you get a bgs 9.5 with a 10 or .5 from a 10 or a 10, all three would probably be worth more than a psa 10, depending on the pop. I am a gambler so I would try BGS and hope for the best.

I feel true beckett 10's (4 sub grades) bring more than PSA 10's.

BGS pop reports are meaningless. PSA drives the market.

Psa for modern sets but BGS for RCs and player collectors.

Thanks for the input. I usually like BGS for cards from the 80's and newer and PSA for 70's and older but I'm leaning towards PSA for these, especially since I have other cards to grade and get in on the $6 May special.

BGS is solid
