? regarding card I have...

[axeman23]

I've got a Lebron Topps RC graded 10 "Mint or Better" by BCCG. I assume BCCG is a branch of Beckett, but I'm wondering if this card would be considered gem-mint, or just mint? Any help would be welcome...

It's "graded" by BCCG is probably misusing the word. Glanced over and then shoved into a case with a 10 on it is more accurate. It's impossible to tell what condition the card is in without actually seeing the card as BCCG do not take any care or attention when "grading" cards. For that reason a card that really is a PSA 9 or BGS 9 could end up as a BCCG 10, but so could a card that is a PSA 5 or BGS 5 also end up as a BCCG 10.

Ok, bummer... So they're not the most exacting graders, then? Not as bad as GEM, i hope...

I'd say there about the same.

yeah i have that same card bccg 10 lol

it's no way a bgs 10, but then again, 10 by bccg means 'mint or better' which basically means at a glance we think it'd grade at least a bgs 9...

remembering that bgs 10 is gem mint, a fat higher claim than mint or better by bccg

It actually states in the grading section of a regular beckett that a BCCG 10 is the equivalent of a PSA 9, Mint at best.

Thanks for pointing that out, now I've seen that table, I've got a better idea. Thanks for the help fellas...

Which, as I said earlier, dependant on the card in the case. They range in grades from PSA 5 to PSA 9 so saying that all BCCG 10 cards = PSA 9 is completely incorrect.

Never said all were PSA 9. Said Mint at best = PSA 9 at best = Not saying all BCCG 10 cards are PSA 9

Not having a go at you - it's what Beckett have published in their book. Trying to say that BCCG10 = PSA9 is stupid. Beckett suck

Ouch, I didn't think they were that bad.

BCCG suck bad. I have a Shaq RC that Blind man Freddy could tell is nowhere near a 10.......be lucky to be an 8. Only value I would see in a BCCG is that they come in a case.....but there is too much room in it and the cards move......so even the positive suck.....lol

LMAO beckett says it in a table.

LOL beckett once again looking after its own profit and business when its also the ones that set the prices ;-)

BCCG are done by blind graders that go on feel.

Here is what they consider a 7! Rounded corners and all. But the table doesnt say it should be a psa 3-4 does it??

Are the "other" gradeds cases UV protected too?
