Thanks man , very helpful, I think all grading company's need to simplify this process and offer more options. Hopefully with more competition will come better pricing and a more user friendly process....I guess time will tell.
This truly helps a lot! I took a look at the submission form and got overwhelmed. I needed someone to hold my hand just like when my dad helped me do my taxes when I first started working at 17. Lmao.
Great video bro. You pretty much gave me some insight on how to submit my cards to BGS. The packing part of the submitting is what concerns me the most. What the cards grade is all in fun and hopefully something comes back a 10, which is what we’re all hoping for. Granted some will come back lower grades, but shouldn’t matter if some are for your personal collection. Regarding your very last comment about the number grade towards the end. I’ve come to notice that a lot of older cards from the mid 80’s and older are starting to see popularity with 9’s. Being that 9.5 and 10’s are nearly impossible to get for these years and sets. Prime example: 1986 Topps Jerry Rice. So a 9(with or without a couple of high subgrades) in the long run isn’t always a bad thing especially if you do it for long term investment as well. 👍🏼
I don't even need any of the grading candidate holders, but after seeing how that other company went after you I bought some anyway. Well done not caving to the pressure
Beckett allows you to submit your cards on a excel file as well; which is WAY easier if you are semi-familiar with basic functions on excel. I'm pretty sure BGS then takes that and enters it into the system; which is why now they are STRONGLY encouraging people to online submit.
I remember the old days where BGS was king. They need to follow PSA and close down for bit. BGS is going to way of Sears at this point. Hope you enjoyed that Duncan rookie.
Yes, sir 👍🏻 I'm excited to get this submission back! I can only see this being a hassle if you were to submit like over 100 cards or something. It really wasn't as bad as it looks lol.
Nice! I'm super pumped to get these back and add BGS to the list of options for me. I'm becoming more and more of a fan with certain cards. I'd be curious to know what cards you submit and the grades you got! I appreciate the feedback and support, brother! 🙏🏻
If you contact a representative you can get a editable pdf and fill that out. Also I usually submit a few hundred cards at a time and use an excel sheet for that. I copy the colum headers in the form and print that out.
Thanks for the info! I tried to do the PDF myself but failed. I may look more into. I like the Excel copy and paste idea, sounds like a huge time saver for bulk!
I’ll be honest with you, the last 4 cards (separate orders) I sent to BGS with the Premium and Express services, I only used the Ground shipping service. Every time, after I got the shipping notification, it only took 2 or 3 days to get them. I’m not sure the express saver will get them to you any faster than that. Also, a paper cutter works great for cutting the cardboard. Not just for grading submissions, but if you sell any raw cards in top loaders or as added protection for graded cards. Super easy to cut it to size. Great video though. Really enjoy your content.
No wonder return times are so long they probably spent hours trying to read people's handwriting and looking up the cards! About to do my first sub tonight
I have submitted 2 cards in the last month paid for the premium service it ended up $300 a card. both came back within a week and both got 9.5's. I had no problems at all..
Becket has closed submissions for all services except 250$ express as of june 6 no more submissions, and they will send cards back submitted after that..The first step now is finding a card worth grading for $250
Thank you for the video. Do you put your card details on the form? Personally that makes me worry to have my card details and address in the same place.
Thanks for the video bro. I’m stuck on the declared value on a Black Disco Prizm 2020 select card for Luke Kuechly one of one. What should I put for the declared value? I seen a Tom Brady black disco on eBay selling for $9000 ungraded. Idk what I should put as the declared value
Hey I just sent my cards to Beckett using that exact address that you had on your package but I just got a notification saying that my package is being returned to sender. Did Beckett change their address or something?
Great video I will be doing this. Question. Which is more value for your money to flip cards? Depends on the card I reckon but Beckett is cheaper than psa but Beckett won’t resale as high? Is that accurate? Thanks
Great video, I just got my subs back. I think I'm done with BGS. Cards encased in the wrong direction, mislabels and questionable customer service. Turn around times are terrible
Dang, that happened with PSA more time than I can count, which is a big reason why I wanted to submit to Beckett and try them out again. I guess no one can get it right! lol
I've seen Beckett slab 54 Sports Illustrated cards as 'auth altered' which would be pretty good, but cust svc said they won't. Also, '37 Joe Dimaggio and '50 Jackie Robinson flip books are eligible, I wonder if they'll grade a card from the flip books as altered (since it's only 1 page from a flip book.) Those are my main interest in Beckett, since my signed Nolan Ryan rookies seem to have a better valuation in a PSA holder and most of the things I can think of PSA has a stronger valuation than BVG in general. The only downside is that PSA seems to be dropping high grades for qualifiers with the same grading system everyone uses. If it's the manufacturers fault, it should be a qualifier grade. I have a sharp centered card with a stain and another with a blue slurpie print defect (both dual signed Nolan Ryan rookies.)
Sorry man if a dumb question, but I'm about to use Beckett for the first time. If my card has an Auto on it, will that automatically be graded along with my card grade? Or do i need to fill out a different form? I didn't see anything on the form ask about auto grading... Thanks
Matt, can you please send me the link to your store, and also let me know what type of card saver I should purchase to submit cards. Is it #2? Thank you.
So what happens when you have like a 1 of 1 where the value is really up in the air or something out of a new set that has yet tbd value wise? And how is pricing determined for sending in cards?
This was really helpful but I just wanna make sure about the declared value, can you put any value or does it have to be a specific one if it hasn’t been graded yet?
It should be roughly what it’s worth with relation to comps. Beckett has you include that in the event something were to happen to your cards, for insurance purposes.
You mentioned the declared value of the card should be,the price after the card gets graded. But we would not know what grade they would give us. Do we declare/assuming a grade 10? Or should it be a face value as is before grade? Also how often in your experience have you received a Black Label case back?
Honestly, I was wondering the same thing??? That's a huge declared value if I'm assuming all my cards will come out with a 10. I really think you should head to tcg player, check the price range of the card ungraded. Use the most recent sales of the ungraded cards to estimate your declared value.
Question is how do I send a card back after they misslabeld a card I got an acuna rated rookie it was tagged as rated prospect. 2 different cards I contacted them and was still left confusing in my head i feel like I prob wont see that card for a year? I dont even feel like I should have to pay for their mistake?
I'm a little late to the game.. what if the card you are submitting doesn't have an "graded price".. well I mean I've seen some that ppl are selling but not like a standard asking price each one was very different in price from one another
Sub-grades are what Beckett is known for so the majority of collectors do like them, however, they are not required on some cards. I have a few BGS graded cards I bought without sub-grades that were BGS 9.5. On some cards, you definitely want to have them but for most it's not that important. Lebron James Exquisite RPA YES get them, 2018 Panini Prizm Jayson Tatum SIlver Prizm - Not that important... Get my drift?
I have to come to you the source..I pulled a 2020 Tom Brady Red Ice Prizm..I made one corner soft acceidently but I want it graded..do you think I should send it to PSA even with the prices..or BGS..
I sent 5 cards at the 20 day turnaround time last October (obviously wasn't expecting them back in 20 days lol) but just last week out of nowhere I got charged for my submission... so I'm wondering if that means my cards are graded and getting returned to me? I honestly have no clue and I can't get any real answer from calling bgs. Edit: It would be great if they would have updates concerning submissions on you're profile... :/
Thanks man , very helpful, I think all grading company's need to simplify this process and offer more options. Hopefully with more competition will come better pricing and a more user friendly process....I guess time will tell.
Better pricing would be 👍 just like the good old days lol. Thanks for the feedback! 🙏🏼
This truly helps a lot! I took a look at the submission form and got overwhelmed. I needed someone to hold my hand just like when my dad helped me do my taxes when I first started working at 17. Lmao.

Dope content per usual
Thank you, Jacob!
This will most helpful and Useful, i'm more to collecting DragonBall Super Card Game.
Great video, I was thinking about submitting my autos and patch cards. There's a beckett company 15 min away from me.
Go for it! I'm a huge fan of thick patch auto cards in a BGS case 👍🏻
Thanks, dude! Incredibly useful as I prepare to do this for the first time!
I’m gonna attempt to use Adobe to type the info into the .pdf before printing
Hi Matt! Great video, very helpful. Thanks.
Thanks, Peter! I appreciate you watching and commenting. The long time support as well 🙏🏻
what about encased cards from the manufacturer? should you take the card out of the encasement and then put the card in thick stock card loaders?
Good question. Probably worth asking in a card group.
very very helpful. people make it so confusing
thanks for the beckett submission process!
Will you be doing a SGC submission video?
I think you can you can do online submission for BGS.
I tried a thousand times but it kept freezing up on me.. I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong or what lol. Maybe in the future it’ll work for me.
@@GRADEDCARDINVESTOR their onloine has been broken for awhile . i tried back in March to use it and it wouldnt load ever .
@@519Goats this was my question so you don’t need to do both, thanks! I’ll just do the paper print out
@@519Goatsthe website is horrible lol
Wonderful content, thanks, very informative. $35 a card , you had better make sure the card is worth sending in.
They've actually lowered their prices recently - I think as low as $17. Check their website to see. 👍🏻
Great information Matt!
Thanks for watching!
hey matt, just a quick question: for those auto cards. Does BGS grade the signature as well or is it a separate process?
So if sending a college football card I assume you'd fill in NCAA for sport?
I have some oversized cards. 5 - 1/8" x 7". I found some penny sleeves but I can't find any semi rigid holders. Can anyone help me?
I have submitted 2 cards in the last month paid for the premium service it ended up $300 a card. both came back within a week and both got 9.5's. I had no problems at all..

Great video as always👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks for the visit!
Wait so it’s 600$ to get those cards graded?
you have shoed me a lot thanks you
Thanks! I'm glad to have helped 👍🏻
How does the declared section work? Is that what the card is marketed at, or is that what you physically paid for it?
Thanks for the video bro. I’m stuck on the declared value on a Black Disco Prizm 2020 select card for Luke Kuechly one of one. What should I put for the declared value? I seen a Tom Brady black disco on eBay selling for $9000 ungraded. Idk what I should put as the declared value
This was a great video!!! Thanks
Glad it helped! Thanks for the feedback!
@@GRADEDCARDINVESTOR curious to know if you do group submission for sending cards to get graded.
No, I don't but there is a list of stores that do. I referenced it in the video. I'm sure there are local businesses around you that will do a group
Great video
Helpful video. one question though, if your shipping internationally what currency should you use?
If you do a how to SGC submission video do you think it will shut them down too. lol. Just ribbing you keep that great content coming.
One question, I am a resident of Texas, what should I put in the tax section.
Hey I just sent my cards to Beckett using that exact address that you had on your package but I just got a notification saying that my package is being returned to sender. Did Beckett change their address or something?
I think they changed locations at some point.
Love your videos!
Great video I will be doing this. Question. Which is more value for your money to flip cards? Depends on the card I reckon but Beckett is cheaper than psa but Beckett won’t resale as high? Is that accurate? Thanks
very informative. Thank You

Thanks for the video! I’m using this process to make first ever submission. A 1993 Upper Deck Premier Prospect Derek Jeter. Looking for a Black label!
Thanks for the tutorial 💯👍
@14:50 why not get insurance? what if it's not a matter if your box will get damaged, but instead what if the box will get lost?
Thanks so much! 😍
could you do a video updating the new process?
The submission form says no standard submission and is the lowest fee each card $30 because thry said it was changed?
Im closing in on a 12 MONTH bulk submission. June 24th, 2020 is when they were sent out. Still don't have them
Random question but what software do you use to record the form and your face on same screen. And THANKS for making this video. Very helpful.
I use OBS Studio, it's free and there are a lot of tutorials on CZcams on ow to use it. It's very useful for recording videos!
how can you declare a value post grading when you don't know what grade it will receive?
Use these Grading Candidate holders when submitting! ebay.us/5j7373 🙏🏻✅❤
id love to buy them but that shipping price to canada kills it for me
Buy $AMC and you can buy any cards you want!!!!
Nice. I might have to try these out when I need some again

For the plastic it doest particularly have to be in a card saver 2 holder if can be used? Guess any semi rigid is all good for Becket?
so I don't have to announce my order, just send my package there?
? Does thickness of card considered oversized. Thanks great Video.
No, I believe it's referring to the height and width. Larger than the standard 2.5" x 3.5" trading card.
Thanks man 🤙🏾 I’m gna check out ur store
just want to ask .. i has bag 10 pristine but has a crack up right and the labels move to right .. could i reslabbing the card .?
:)
Sorry man if a dumb question, but I'm about to use Beckett for the first time. If my card has an Auto on it, will that automatically be graded along with my card grade? Or do i need to fill out a different form? I didn't see anything on the form ask about auto grading... Thanks
Great video and very informative. Been looking for a vid like this. Any idea how much a Lamelo pink rated rookie /25 would go for graded 9+?
Hey Matt, I’m curious to hear your feedback on CSG! Thanks
Nice Vid, thX
question, declared value is based off a grade of 10? and how accurate do you need to be with the value?
amazing video. thank you.
Matt, can you please send me the link to your store, and also let me know what type of card saver I should purchase to submit cards. Is it #2? Thank you.
So what happens when you have like a 1 of 1 where the value is really up in the air or something out of a new set that has yet tbd value wise? And how is pricing determined for sending in cards?
will my card be charged after do they do the grading? or when they receive the package?
When BGS sets up at a show, how much are they charging? I thought about going to a show and trying to get some stuff graded
So we don’t need to do the online submission form? We can just do the print out and put it in the box?
This was really helpful but I just wanna make sure about the declared value, can you put any value or does it have to be a specific one if it hasn’t been graded yet?

I really think you should head to tcg player, check the price range of the card ungraded. Use the most recent sales of the ungraded cards to estimate your declared value.
So after you get your cards and ur paper submitted to Beckett. You have to pay online after right?
with autograph graded with card too
Is the declared value in 10? Or what grade would the declared value be?
When do u pay or they take out payment once they authenticated
So, is the authentication box, is that for autographed cards, that are in person autos?
Question is how do I send a card back after they misslabeld a card I got an acuna rated rookie it was tagged as rated prospect. 2 different cards I contacted them and was still left confusing in my head i feel like I prob wont see that card for a year? I dont even feel like I should have to pay for their mistake?
I'm a little late to the game.. what if the card you are submitting doesn't have an "graded price".. well I mean I've seen some that ppl are selling but not like a standard asking price each one was very different in price from one another
Just put the raw value.
What if you put a value of $3000 and its worth $5000 or more ? PSA charges more on the value.....but you don't know it.
can I just type in all the information on the sub form?
Hey Mat,what is the best price for grading.
thank u
Is there a sizable difference in value with subgrades versus no subgrades? I mean, the overall grade is what's important, right?
Sub-grades are what Beckett is known for so the majority of collectors do like them, however, they are not required on some cards. I have a few BGS graded cards I bought without sub-grades that were BGS 9.5. On some cards, you definitely want to have them but for most it's not that important. Lebron James Exquisite RPA YES get them, 2018 Panini Prizm Jayson Tatum SIlver Prizm - Not that important... Get my drift?
would you recommend writing the service level on the outside of the box so that they know it's "economy" or "express", etc
Always do that, PSA or BGS.
Thank u
I have to come to you the source..I pulled a 2020 Tom Brady Red Ice Prizm..I made one corner soft acceidently but I want it graded..do you think I should send it to PSA even with the prices..or BGS..
great video bro you think you can do a video how to do it on the web site of beckett
Nice but how much it cost for 1 card?
About twenty bucks
In your experience what grade company is most reputable ?
Today I just submitted to beckett and I forgot to check one of the box in the middle for grading. What should I do?
For your auto cards who do you recommend?
Can i use regular top loaders as well wen i send off for grade
Dude filling it out manually sucks. They just created an online form for auto authentication so hopefully it will be available for grading soon.
I sent 5 cards at the 20 day turnaround time last October (obviously wasn't expecting them back in 20 days lol) but just last week out of nowhere I got charged for my submission... so I'm wondering if that means my cards are graded and getting returned to me? I honestly have no clue and I can't get any real answer from calling bgs.
Edit: It would be great if they would have updates concerning submissions on you're profile... :/
