Hi everyone, I'm thinking about buying a Jordan RC. I only want to buy a graded one, thinking of a PSA or BGS 7 NM card - any advice on which grading company's better re authenticity checking, will hold value etc?

BGS seems to hold better value and more recognised imo, if I were buying one, BGS for me.

PSA for me. There is just more of an authentic feel with PSA and vintage cards. BGS is good for the newer cards. Only me opinion.

I voted psa

Reason - "vintage" cards,vintage collectors tend to prefer psa.

But the main thing if your just putting it in your PC is get the one u like best.

PSA for me, the older stuff seems to fit nicely with PSA. I prefer my new stuff (not Jordan) with BGS.
I have no explanation why!

Is it just personal preference, or why is it PSA with vintage and BGS with newer? I'm not huge into graded cards, I like them both, but I think I prefer PSA. So, I'd also throw my vote into the PSA hat.

I prefer the look of BGS, but as others have said PSA has the better reputation with grading vintage stuff.

As a fleer collector PSA is the only way to go.
