I'm the buddy who passed on the Flawless case when Chris hit the Allen 1/1. 😕 Also, I consider Chris a true friend in and out of the hobby, someone who helped us get into it and who we had a blast with last year at the National. Much love brotha! #billsmafia.
🤜🤛 thanks Kevin!
Chris is awesome. He is my brother from another mother. Him and I grew up together collecting cards and trading them with each other and a few other friends. He has started to get me back into the card collecting. Keep up the good work
If you are looking at SGC pricing you need to go back and find the rise in value that started was the first of 2020, not just during the Rono. SGC rising is only going to help the hobby and loosen the monopoly that PSA has on it. A lot of the "PSA Folks" need to realize that the competition will help them in forcing PSA to change how they do business, which they will benefit from. Good content as always, thank you for sharing various areas of the hobby ! #SGCMafia
Very good point. Any industry that has level competition, only makes products & services faster & better for their customers. Cell phones, Oil, Cars, Clothes...it doesn't matter! Same applies with SGC. I'm a new sports card investor & have seen/heard the horror stories about PSA'S turnaround times. Honestly that was kind of offsetting to me initially. Can you imagine the amount of new investors that WANT to get in but are pushed away from the turnaround speed? It happens! All I'm saying is that PSA is king for now, BGS may be queen, but that prince SGC might have something to say in a year or two 🤷🏾♂️
@@thebishop8501 I have returned to hobby from back in 1992. Collected as kid up to HS. I was new to new trends and went through exactly what you stated. I have submitted to all 3 in the last 5 months and have gone primarily with SGC for my needs.
@@natsman7262 Solid. I currently have a 30 card sub shipped out 2 weeks ago to PSA and JUST shipped off a 10 card order to SGC yesterday. I'm expecting SGC back maybe by mid to late June but PSA by end of fall or winter 🤷🏾♂️ It's sad that I have to expect my PSA order to get back 6 months from now & that's why I think SGC will gain ground (currently)
Follow subscribe to us guyd sgc mafia the coolest card youtubers
Super well wrote Nats!
Super cool you had @ChrisG613 on. Enjoyed it.
Chris G is an Awesome Dude! Got to meet him at the National a couple years back. It is a huge bummer that the National won't be happening at the usual time this year. We are sending in cards to SGC as well for grading, hope to have some results back soon.
I enjoy when you have youtube guests join the videos ,keep up the great work!
In case the younger people don't know what that book is in the beginning credits it's called a check book. It was used to pay people before Paypal, Venmo and Apple pay.
I think they print off center to keep the psa 10's low. Nearly every card would be a 10. I think its helpful to the hobby and keeps the pop low on these RC's.
Robert Junko I agree
lol i was getting ready to type the same thing, then i saw your post.
Good call
I understand that point, however, a part of me thinks that if the card owner takes enough care to not damage the edges or surface, they should be rewarded for their effort with a good shot at a 10.
Awesome interview with @chrisg613 and he is one of three people to tell me you should do your own channel. Great insights. Loved it 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Great video. Just started watching this channel since shelter at home started. Really enjoying the input from so many hobby enthusiasts
Another awesome video!great job be on the lookout for 2012 Mike trout prizm its going crazy now. Love collecting cards this community is so awesome. The for what you do. Happy hunting my friend!
Great interview, I collect high end vintage and modern day cards as well...... I like PSA and SGC for vintage cards. PSA will list qualifiers and that’s a huge in vintage sales..... SGC does a great job in prewar cards, love the black borders. BGS is my last in line, I do like they list all the sub grades but now you have to pay for those now..... they use to be standard. I will continue to use all 3 but SGC might get note of my modern cards. Great 👍 interview Geoff :)
SGC is excellent. SGC is every bit as strict and thorough as Beckett and PSA. I think PSA is currently embroiled in a card trimming scandal.
I remember when don west sold 85 topps McGwires in 1998 for 495.00
Fun interview and very down to earth guy! His collection is amazing too!! What grade was the 86 Fleer Jordan? Very cool cards!
Mine is a 4 for the base Rookie, a 8 for the sticker
@@MrCG613 Nice job on the 8 and at least you have the base graded!
Great stuff Chrisg613 is great I consider him a good friend even though we have never met in person it we do talk alot. Great content.
Omg...I remember the Don West era and his "Blue Chip Specials". I got a couple of orders before...they were nice, but nothing Blue Chip special about them at all...lol
Great interview, love the topics. Go Bills!
Great video! You helped me to make some money. Thanks!
Another great interview! As for grading, I too am being turned on to SGC. Those black matte slabs really make most cards pop. I'm probably going to end up slabbing my insert collection with them. As for BGS, its my preferred slab choice for HOF rookie cards. The slabs just have a museum quality to me with the thickness, silver/gold labeling and the Beckett insignia. It screams quality and class. However, my biggest beef with them is the cost. BGS HAS GOT TO LOWER THEIR PRICES if they want to remain competitive. As for PSA, I"'m done with them for now. Takes too long and their slabs look like something sold at a discount store.
Hey Geoff what do you think about SGC from a short-term investment versus PSA?
Will there be a point in the not so far future where an SGC 10 carries more weight than a PSA 10?
Love your content as always, my go to channel for all things sport cards.
Great show so far guys
One would think that as the hobby expands, and demand grows, PSA would be able to afford enough staff to slash turnarounds. With how many more people are joining the hobby, like myself, I don't see why they can't hire and train enough staff to keep turnaround at a month, if they took the remainder of the year to allocate human resources. A lot of people are now in need of a job, so this wouldn't be a bad time to pluck some high skilled labor from the job market. If PSA had a reasonable turnaround, I can't image the business they would get.
PSA is a publicly traded company (CLCT) and made over $10 million in net profit last year, they are perfectly capable of expanding but arent.
What i took away from this video: "mag your points"
I soubbed to your channel
I mean, those slabbed Panini Points are pretty 🔥🔥🔥 !!
CHRISG613!!! Great interview, he is one of my favs to brainstorm and chat early in the morning on Instagram when everyone else is sleeping
I just got back into the hobby. Also just signed up for SCI. Who are some good cards for me to target today? 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Acuna Jr, Tatis Jr, Bo Bichette, Gavin Lux, Aaron Judge, Gleyber Torres, Vladimir Guerrero Jr, Jeter, Trout, Ohtani. Good luck!!
And Juan Soto as well.
Thanks
Personally I’m sticking to Trout, Soto and Torres. The rest are either too high or haven’t show me enough

Interesting interview! Big thumbs up!
I agree that the 1st wave products are better!
Good tips on these grading card companies.
How much was the BGS through your card shop?
I love the 2nd year josh allen select more than his 1st year they look so much better.
im growing on SGC , they have great service so far. Only thing that turns me off is Investacard, holy crap that guy is a toolbag.
I think you need a healthy collector:investor ratio. What that is, I'm not sure. Investors drive prices up so that collectors can actually realize gains and reinvest earnings into the hobby. Investors need collectors as the "end users," otherwise they're just trading tulips and building castles in the sky.
Josh Allen baby!
Cool guy! 💯
I wish you would take a look at GMA lots of people are using them due to cost and all the BS going on at PSA and BGS. There is a lot of disinformation out there about them.
Hell yea a buffalonian! Go Bills
Havnt finished the whole video yet but while I'm thinking about I have noticed way too much variation in PSA 10s. Some are too off center and the ink seems light and weak and then some seem perfect centered and nice clear deep coloring. In my opinion a 10 grade should only be the absolute best of the best and their should be a lot less of them. On another note as I go through some of my collection from the 90s it appears that a lot of the rookie chase cards and Jordans have touched corner or seem off center or have a scratch way more often than the other cards from the same pack. Makes me wonder if they did this on purpose at the factory in order to increase the value of the few good ones they don't alter on purpose.
I’m not a huge fan of PSA and their generic grading scale with no specifics.
for geoff, you have to understand, psa is not a legit company, they are doing shady things behind the scenes, for example, the worked closely with pwcc to grade trimmed cards, just to name one thing... psa CANNOT scale and add new people because the new people will find out what is actually going on behind the scenes. there are a few things you cannot imagine that are going on. you should have some psa employees in your network now, ask them off the record, and promise to keep the secrets. psa was founded to grade altered cards, it started with the first card they graded, and continues with pwcc and other major players in the hobby. mastro auctions used to be the biggest sports related auction house, read about all the nasty stuff they did, and consider, they started a new auction house, and some of the same crooks work for other companies today. i can go on all day. i want to add, psa is not all bad, there are some good people not involved in underhanded stuff, but even some of them see things and know things.
With the technology we have today they could print every card to look like a PSA 10 yet they do not. If they did that it would probably destroy the business. I would like to hear some thoughts on this from other people. I could be wrong.....
Do you sell on eBay?
#BillsMafia in the house
PSA is a publicly traded company, you would think they would have trained & hired new graders years ago.
Go bills
Nice vid?? 👍
I have 5 wild cards any info 1992

How much weed did Chris smoke before the interview?
BGS will always be king. The cards are protected from UV Rays and have a plastic sealed inner sleeve which is superior to both SGC and PSA. The premium alone of BGS 10s can be all the difference you need. For example, if I send in 50 cards all with a raw values between $50-$200, just getting a 10 on one of these cards can potentially turn it into a $2,000 card ( as opposed to $300-$500 as a Gem BGS 9.5). I only deal with Lebron James, Kawhi Leonard , Curry and Kobe refractors (all optic-chrome cards). Once you have an "eye for grading" you can figure out which cards have the potential for a BGS 10 and eliminate the ones that don't.
All you have to do is submit 51 cards, and have ONE get a BGS 10, and the grading is basically free at that point, it virtually pays for itself. 51 cards x $20 per card (10 Day turnaround) = $1,020 plus shipping and insurance.
Now here's the fun part. If you get more than one 10 (say maybe 4 or 5), and at least 15 to 20 others Gem, you made a killing! And if you are lucky enough to score a "Black Label" ….you already know that the card may be for 50x-200x raw price!!!
But BGS gives 3out of 4 of my 9.5’s one ‘9’ sub grade that is undetectable by the eye; and it drops the value from a quad 9.5. I did get one 10 Zion that sold for $1300 which made me happy; but those 9 sub grades are killing me...
how can you not understand about psa and bgs grading not being able to keep up? everyone submits thousands of five dollar cards every day and treats it as an experiment when really people should just be submitting valuable cards or special cards but people want to submit everything there's nothing hard to understand collectors do it to themselves and they are idiots for ruining it for people like me. guess how many i submitted this year-- 20 cards and they are all special and valuable
I disagree with the investing side of this hobby. They are ruining the hobby for the average guy.
All card being centered 🤔 you would then be complaining if every single card that was graded this year was a PSA 10, lol.
U know the cards u could get with that many points smh!!! Why not use them I don't get it?
I did use them....the whole rainbow is used panini points 🤣
Oh I see was gonna say cool what did u get with them?
@@bmac85north I continuously buy unused points all year long. I bank them for their exclusive panini rewards white sparkle packs, cracked ice autos and more.
Nice man the 86-87 fleer collection wow and that Josh Allen is crazy!! Congrats
What’s a good equation to buy pts at? Like what do I want to pay for every 100pts on avg?
