CARD GRADES

What's the most reliable grading service? Beckett (are there more than one Beckett grading services) or PSA or something I'm missing? What has the best resale value? Also does this change over time? For ex., if Beckett is more valuable now, could that possibly change in 10+ yrs?
Apologies is this may be a simple question.

    PSA is more valuable now and will be longer IMO due to the registry among other reasons. Beckett has a name that will last also so you really cannot go wrong with either for your personal collection. If purely for resale, I would stick to PSA especially for 80s and earlier. Of course newer BGS 9.5's sell much stronger than PSA 9s so I would suggest Beckett for that if they have a shot. Also for pre-war cards consider SGC.

    For beckett do not do the BCCG cards with the cheap per card submission rate. They sell for a ratio of 1:5 or less typically.

    Ahh I was wondering why I see BGS and BCCG's on ebay.
