BGS Grading & Price Increase
I recently got back some cards from BGS (scans soon) and was wondering how much additional value they had because they were slabbed and graded.
And specifically 1/1s.
How much do you think it adds?

for 1 of 1: extremely minimal increase if anything at all. depending on the grade and card, it could actually hurt value versus raw. heading those in just for authenticating it and protecting it

Somewhat agree with jacoby, the increase on a 1/1 is slight but it does make it an easier sell on Ebay. Very little risk of damage during shipping, and prevents the buyer from claiming the card isn't in the condition you described. Well worth the $7 in my opinion....
All in with pocket Aces.... Andre Johnson and Aaron Rodgers.

RE: BGS Grading & Price Increase
Most modern cards should be in near pristine condition, so I would say they are a waste of time, it is the older cards where it is worth it.
I am into collecting Charles Barkley, Steve Nash and Jason Kidd. I alos will collect Goldy.
Right now most cards are not in the trade section, but in my org, so look there first to see what I have and then PM me an offer and if accepted I will move it to the trade section, ready to be traded.

Beautiful Posey cards! I think as 9.5's they add a slight bump in value, mostly to the less rare cards like the peek performance. With 1/1's and even /5's I agree with Jacoby. You're only adding protection and guaranteeing the grade of the cards. The demand will always be there. You could also check the population report. If, for example, your Peek Performance auto only had a few graded as high as 9.5 with most being 9 or below that might help it. Of course if you got 10's on any of the grades, that would help them more.
