PSA for vintage and set reg.
BGS- Modern and very condition sensitive issues will get more money. I lost ons of respect for BGS when they made BCCG so Ken Goldin could scream "BECKETT GRADEDDDDDDDD 10 ! A TEN a F***IN' TEN (*spits everywhere*)
"

PSA is without a doubt the way to go if you're looking to retain long-term value. If you have a bunch of new junk and want it graded for the sole purpose of selling it, I don't think it really matters much whether you use PSA or BGS, unless you've trimmed the cards, in which case, send them to BGS. If BGS will grade it a 9.5, it's got a fair shot at a PSA 10, I can't see how there would be a huge price variance between the two grades for the majority of these modern cards.

Thanks for the feedback everyone! I am not new to collecting, I'm just one of those who never warmed up to having my cards graded.
Mostly because I have yet to ever sell anything of mine. I just sent in my first order with PSA with some of my best cards. Really looking forward to the results.

I'd go with Beckett or SGC over PSA
