Just one more question. When I try to use the electronic form It only seems to be for returning users. I try to log in with my Beckett log in but it doesn't recognize it. Do I need to register with new log in info to get the form???

Ok one more. Why an old crappy card saver1? Top loader is no good?

I do things a little differently. If it's packaged too tightly, there is a risk of damage to the card when it has to be removed by BGS.

The toploader will allow the card to move inside it. Whereas, the card saver I doesn't. The card in a card saver I stays nice and tight. Plus, when you package your cards, the card saver I's are ideal for bundling together.

I use team bags around all my toploaders and have never had a problem with slippage. Be careful not to crush corners and edges with too snug a fit around your cards.

The system you use will depend on how many cards you send. for small orders (less than 15-20 cards), I use toploaders (all cards) with team bags (for 1-4 cards based on thickness. I place 2 of the team bag loaded cards into a single graded cardbag (which you'll need any way to keep your newly graded slab free from dust and scratches...sold for 100/$3). I also place the white dummy cards in the bag on the outside of the toploaders. I can ship up to 20 cards this way in a thick padded envelope. I also ship in standard priority mail boxes (2-3 day delivery at $6 + insurance).

For larger or expensive submissions, I ship usually Express mail (with signature confirmation) with delivery in 1-2 days. It has been my experience that the longer an item is in possession of the postal service or on route, the greater risk of package damage or a lost item.

Also for those submissions, I recycle the boxes that BGS sends my cards back to me in.

This has worked well for me the past 5 years and after over 1000 submissions.
