Joe from Mike's Retro Trading Cards here...nice video. I really like your choice here. Not caring about resale makes the decision easier IMO. CGC has the nicest slabs, bar none. I would have considered going SGC for your vintage cards and CGC for your modern/ultra modern which would give you some consistency but if you want to have everything completely the same, CGC is a solid choice. In terms of UV protection, if you have cards with autos that you plan to display, get some slabmags. Dustin has a code you can use for either 5 or 10 percent off. I don't use them for everything but my high-end and autos that I display I do. Fun video and good luck on the reveal!
thanks for the video, i use cgc and the slabs to me (being a newish collector) are the best looking. i also agree with you, slab to display is the idea. the red label to me reminds me of red ink on a P&L statement. so seeing red on my walls is a put off, the black goes with everything. i also created a website to show off my collection to the public and the images from cgc are really good and they look great online.
I definitely ha e been researching where to send my PC collection to be graded. Im looking forward to see what tour comes out. Thanks for the information.
My favorite is BGS because of the subgrades. But the best looking slab is SGC. I used to have that same EARL CAMPBELL in a BVG just like yours. I wish I kept it along with my 1976 Payton BVG 8.5 which I sold for double what I paid for. Have a great weekend.
Great video! I’m currently deciding what I want to do for my collection as far as grading now. I’ve been leaning towards SGC but I haven’t made up my mind. I’ll have to look at CGC for sure! Thanks for sharing this!
I've spent some time checking out all of the companies and even ordered a couple of cards in CGC slabs to check out the new ones. I'm sold on CGC. I think they are going to be around for awhile.
Thanks for bringing up the UV protection. It’s not brought up in the area we live in much. We primarily use PSA for our slabs , I think it’s because out here at our card shows that is what most people are looking for. We collect and flip. The flip part is to finance our channel mostly.
Another thing that is overlooked when evaluating card grading companies is their authentication guarantee. The last time I checked, SGC and Beckett do not offer such a guarantee. PSA and CGC do. The difference is PSA's guarantee does not cover the submitter of the card; CGC does. What this means is, if you submit a card and PSA authenticates it, then later you learn the card is counterfeit, you're not covered as the submitter, even though PSA authenticated the card. Only if you sell that card to a 3rd party, then that 3rd party can benefit from PSA's guarantee. CGC covers the submitter and any 3rd party that might purchase the graded card. #TheHobbyist
@@helmetsnhashmarks I believe in TAG in valuable grading company. With there transparency on the grade report. It will show you every flaw on the card….. PSA, SGC nor CGC offers that detail report on the card and show you where each flaw is on the scan of the card. Very important information
I busted out laughing when you cut to Michael Jackson, then Tommy Boy just killed me. LOL. Thanks for the laugh man.
Anytime. Thanks for watching the video.

Thanks, I'm going to look into that. My display cases have uv but never hurts to be safe.
Nice set up you have
I'm kind of a nerd

Thanks for the support. What is your website
Great information thank you
Absolutely. I'll be posting updates as well.
Great choice! It didn't hit me that they do cards also. I know they do comics which I do have & plan to submit to CGC.
Yeah they are definitely the best option for me
Great video good information
Thanks. I'll be posting an update soon.

Me too. If you haven't seen the new CGC slabs, they are nice.
Great video lots of information
Thank you I appreciate the support.
Wow u really have a lot of information about grading
I spent some time researching

I love that card. I really don't dislike any grading company. I really do like the CGC slabs.
@@helmetsnhashmarks I know, but I dislike BCCG and the no name fake ones outside for the big 3-4 and CGC is really nice too.
Since you collect instead of sell, CGC is a good choice!
Definitely, anything I grade for my PC is at least a long-term term hold

For sure. It would be nice to protect, especially, autograph cards from light
@@helmetsnhashmarks it should an upgraded slab option
Im gonna look into cgc
It's a great deal
Love the subgrades on Beckett, but man it’s just that PSA slabs are where the higher prices are. Difficult to pass up on that.
Yeah it's a tough choice
@@helmetsnhashmarks Also it’s my understanding that Beckett or SGC is the way to go for sure for thicker cards, yes?
@brentshealer7314 that's what I'm finding.
@brentshealer7314 CGC does grade everything, so I think it will work.
Very informative. Thanks for doing your research. I want to send my pc cards for grading and this gives me something to think about.
I really do like CGC. The price is really good too. I'll be posting a follow-up video soon.

It's good to know. I may have to add that to my follow-up video.
Great video H&H
Thank you. I'll be working on the update soon.
Great video
Thank you I'm getting the cards ready to ship. I'll post the updates
I like CGC overall but I do both PC and resale grading so PSA currently is the way. I do like the design of CGC slabs a bit more though.
For sure. I'm not limiting myself just for my PC, which is mostly raw. I'll go CGC.
Very informative 👍
I just wanted to share my experience.
another great vid very informative
I wanted to help people thinking about grading. There is a lot of misinformation and hype out there
thats a really good choice
I think so.
What a great video
Thank you for supporting.
What’s up H&H
Hey, brotha. I will have time towards the middle of the week to get some stuff going for you. Sorry for the delay work has all my free time tied up.
@@helmetsnhashmarksWow. That would be awesome. Let me know. I will continue to be patient
If i had a million dollar card i want a Beckett holder. Its protection is the best in the business.
I get that. I'm just not big on the slabs. I also think eventually they are going to have to do something about the slabs and labels
Nice choice going with CGC. Im also a collector and CGC is a no brainer for my PC...
@@trader5777 I love the slabs
Tag all way for me
TAG is cool. They only do modern standard cards. I think they are cool though for sure.
@@helmetsnhashmarks I believe in TAG in valuable grading company. With there transparency on the grade report. It will show you every flaw on the card….. PSA, SGC nor CGC offers that detail report on the card and show you where each flaw is on the scan of the card. Very important information
@Star-Collector70 they will definitely be a top grading company as soon as they start doing mems and die cuts I also have a lot of vintage stuff
I was leaning SGC until PSA acquired them. It's CGC for me as well. Great slabs, turnaround, and pricing.
@@thomastaylor3419 ill stick with them
Titus sent me God is Great, grats on 1k subs !
