Anyone try crossgrading a Jeter SP RC from BGS?

angelenocarddude

Just picked up a BGS 9 Foil SP in a group of 3 Jeter rookies (others are PSA 10s, not the SP). See that PSA 9s sell at DOUBLE the Beckett, which is surprising. Has anyone tried to cross grade?
PSA 8s go far under BGS 9s so it's a real risk. Help?

i would leave it in the BGS Slab, as its there for a reason

I crossed an 8.5 to an 8, but that was an insignificant cross. It looked more like an 8 to me anyway and I wanted it in a PSA holder. I hoped it might stay an 8.5, but did put min grade 8 on the form.

9 may be a little risky if you drop to an 8, but an PSA 8.5 has a higher VCP avg. than the BGS 9.

Good luck whatever you do.

I don't always buy that mentality. Maybe a Koufax rookie or a Clemente rookie but a lot of modern collectors
use Beckett.

What does the card look like to you?

waiting to get it in hand but the pic looked solid. see here:

Jordan and Jeter SP's come to mind immediately. for the OPs sake i hope i am wrong.

It looks sharp. The only thing that scares me is the surface grade being an 8.5?

i once pulled jordan fleer rookie out of the pack and ended up with a 9 b/c the surface was an 8.5. never quite understand that part of the evaluation.
