So its only cards graded by them 3 companies eligible for the cross grade? I have a Dan Marino 1984 topps graded by a company called GEM and I want to get it cross graded. This would be a great opportunity to slip it in with a bunch of PSA10 cards I want cross graded.

Also have a Derek Jeter graded by a company called Allstar Grading company that I want to get cross graded.

I'm sure you can try and cross the the gem and allstar graded card, They were most likely not mentioned as the Industry considors these companies a Joke due to having a very high percentage of altered cards residing in their slabs...

If it's not altered considor yourself lucky, then you only have to deal with the overgraded factor as these companies slap a "10 gem mint" on nearly anything that touches their hands.

Hence the reason you will see for instance a BGS 9.5 scottie pippen 1988 fleer rc sell for 400.00 and a Gem 10 scottie pippen rc sell for 15.00

Very questionable slabs that many shy away from.

Yeah tell me about it, I'm sweating that big time. I'm still reeling from this Marino rookie I've had for YEARS, beautiful card, got sent back to me in October when I finally started sending cards in. Apparently I never noticed it was trimmed to a major extreme! No wonder the corners looked so perfect and the centering was so eye popping. I wish I could leave retro active feedback on ebay for that one.

Ive placed other cards around my GEM graded Marino and there seems to be no discrepancies with trimming. I won't lose sleep if it doesn't grade a 9 or higher, I just want an unaltered Marino rookie graded by BGS that I sent in and didn't get someone else to grade it for me.

Perfect...so I have a card (example) that has been graded by some other comapny like MINT and beckett will regrade it and slab it into one of theirs. See my card and tell me if this would be graded by Beckett....

[floridaboytaz420]

ya, me too, can finally get som cards graded or crossed over, have been waiting like 2 years.

[floridaboytaz420]

and I guess we still have to add $2 per auto card for this?

[jam92102]

Does this include BCCG that can be transferred to BGS?  Also does it include the BCCG cards with authentic bat pieces from hidden treasures to get transfered to bgs?

[nolan5000]

No, it doesn't.  Perhaps this will be of assistance:
