  Ive seen some of the sub/special sets going down in price and am thinking of picking some up. For instance, I love the Gatorade Slam Dunk with Jordan.
  
  Is BGS grading bagged sets only or singles as well?

  Kiss me once, shame on you.
  Kiss me twice.....let's party.

  I think it is both, but the majority are sealed sets. That is what concerns me, a sealed bag set at BGS 9.5 is only really on the header card and plastic bag.
  
  I think these sets need to fall 25% before they make sense.

  I use to be heavy into star basketball in the early 90's, so these bring back some memories.
  
  Do you think collectors will see bgs similar to psa graded star cards? Sort of a niche. While most of the graded ones remain GAI.
  
  The prices on ebay are pretty crazy, a $1,000 for a BGS 10 '83 All Rookie set?
  
  Is the 84 Arena Bob Lanier still considered a rarity?
  
  Back in the day, the Lanier was like the 85 Gatorade SP Barkley. They were both $300-500 and considered rare. But then the Barkley dropped to $30 or $50. The rarity thing was sort of a fad. Like error cards in baseball.
