I bought a ton of mini regulars hoping one would be a glow in the dark.  No luck yet. I figured I can buy 40 and one has to glow.

Before you buy , you can look at the border, it is different.  Look closely at one on ebay and then look at your border on yours.  You will see the difference.  Hope this helps

Still a little too early to know for sure

Is anyone else here doing BGS grading on all the various types of 83 cards? I've never done it before and not sure how to label the cards on the form etc.   

Thanks

Maybe... I keep seeing the BGS cards pop up on ebay

I had never graded a card until recently. I sent 1 of the base cards into PSA    https://www.psacard.com/

I was told that they are the "standard" of the industry...   as the 2 most expensive cards ever sold were both graded by PSA. :O

Thanks man, I'll have a look. I assumed BGS was more popular, sorry!

Personally I prefer PSA over BGS.  BGS gives out 10's like they're giving out candy, so the graded 10's end up not being as rare vs PSA 10.  Just my thoughts from the things I've read on forums.

I've read the opposite, but I'll be choosing PSA. I prefer the simple aesthetics of PSA's red text on white stickers. Reminds me of a baseball. LOL

Wow. my plan was to get 10 mini X cards, but those have all but disappeared.  Also have my eyes on a couple of mini golds.  If anyone has 4 mini blacks they want to trade, let me know.

Here's some eye candy since we've fallen to page 2 now.  Hope we don't lose steam.

Another red card has made itself known.

I see who I was bidding against for all those Mini X's now. Good score!

[Mrstacy]

I got two from a ginter x case.  I even sold a few when I had different goals. The black one is the best looking one I think.  But, if I ran across a silver,  I wouldn't toss it aside.

Damn. Very impressive.

I kept telling my buddies in the trading card game about the btc community and none of them wanted to listen.

No one HODLs like a BTCitcoin enthusiast.
