Are other grading services such as BCCG , ProGrading , FGS , Beckett , and such worth picking up ?? I have never of some of these . Reason I ask is I happened upon about 60 cards/items that are graded by these among a few PSA in the mix . Assortment includes a few from the late 50's and the rest are from the 60's and 70's . I saw a 79' Topps Roger Maris MT 10 in the BCCG , a 69' Joe Horlen MT 10 among others Photostamp (whatever this is) in FGS , a 85' Topps Roger Clemens MT 8 in ProGrading , a 1950's Bob Lemon Autographed Card apprx. 4X6 certified by PSA , a couple/three 78'/79' Pete Rose PSA's , I even think there were a couple Mcgwire PSA's , and Yogi Berra & Mantle certified magazine cutouts , FGS I think (didn't know they done this) . Any way the whole lot can be had for $200 , and just wanted some opinions before I lost my arse !! What do you guys think ??

Is the seller of the items "sportscardandart or sportscardnart"?
If it is, I'd like to punch this guy in the face. I believe FGS is his own grading.

No I found these privately today at a yardsale and the guy is holding them for me .

Is the yardsale in CA, somewhere near Bakersfield?

FGS is crap. The guy who slabbed stuff will slab anything from paper cut outs and crazy stuff
and hyped it up as super rare stuff. All the other companies listed are junk; hence the cheap price.
If this is for your own personal collection and you like the stuff, then go for it. I don't see or think
you'll get rich trying to flip them.

No, It was in Indiana and I figured as much and just needed one or two of you to push me off the fence before I lost my cash . What about the PSA Bob Lemon auto ??

Can't help you on the auto. Sorry.

Beckett is worth picking up.

The only companies to really trust is PSA, SGC and Beckett (BVG and BGS). Do not pick up the Beckett BCCG crap.
