This is my first graded card

sent it into CGA, (Card Grading Australia) for grading http://www.cardgradingaustralia.com/

I picked this card to be my first graded card as it is the first Titans card released and is i nice serial number

2006 Invincible Titans Case Card Numbered 500/500




Wouldn't mind getting your thoughts on getting your low numbers graded or keeping them ungraded..
I am thinking of leaving them until the grading picks up and gets a bit more popular in Australia
In case i upgrade numbers or card quality and need to move it on...
I got this one graded as i have a #10 of the same card

I still think it would be cool to have specific pages and or albums to put these in but they do fit in a 4-pocket page alright...


Pretty happy with the score and would recommend CGA to all,

Thanks for looking

Troy
 
Nice one.......I have just sent 9 cards off for comprehensive grading. I personally put the graded card and the report in a bag designed for slabs and then pop that on a stand. In the current lot I have just sent there were 4 NRL signature cards.

Troy, with regards that site you mentioned, no, I won't use it so I don't know what stands they sell. Here is an image of the stands I use.

Depends on the service and the time frame. The RAW service is cheaper as CGA only encapsulate the card. The comprehensive service is dearer for the 7 day turn-a-round service and gets progressively cheaper the longer the turn-a-round period.

In my latest 9 card order I used the 28 day service for a cost of $12 and some change for a comprehensive service. That is encapsulation and grading + the report.

Without debating the merits of one companies service / process over another I have found Craig at CGA very good to deal with. They keep you in the loop all thru the process with your order. I have another 5 cards to pack up and send off in the morning, what I like about this order is that 2 of the cards have previously been graded / slabbed by another company, CGA will open the slabs, re-grade the cards and send them back with the report. They are only non-sport promo cards but they are cards I want to keep.

Hope that helps.
