I have a Topps Chrome Kobe Bryant psa 9 and I'm thinking about breaking it out and having BGS grade it instead. My reasoning is that I prefer BGS to PSA and also BGS seems to give higher grades on this card.
Here's the pop report for BGS:
9: 936 9.5: 598 10: 54 total: 2,506 26% gem mint or better
Heres the pop report for PSA:
8: 397 9: 3481 10: 654 total: 4,617 14% gem mint
So my question is should I even bother or is it kind of risky since a PSA 9 would be better then a BGS 9 in this case? And if so should I break it out of the PSA case before sending it to BGS so they don't see the 9 grade or just send it still in the PSA case?
