Question How do I get a BGS authentic slab?

I want to have a card encased in a BGS slab just as AUTHENTIC, since I know it’s not going to grade well. Does anyone know how to request this since there is not a button to press on the online submission, it’ll only assign it a numeric grade. Thanks

I'm pretty sure you will get a blue label saying authentic with no grades but I don't know anyone who values that more over a graded card even if it's a 5 or 6

Anything but the dreaded paper label. It’s a modern chrome card, so I’ll take the blue tab over a paper all day.

Just check the second box below where you list your cards on the submission form. I believe BGS universally uses the silver Authentic slab now for non-altered cards.

This is news to me. Can anyone confirm? If true then I have a decent number of cards to slab. Blue is so ugly. I normally associate it with damaged, altered.

Just did an eBay search... I see the silver authentic slab for when they authenticate IP autos but I dont see the silver slab for just authenticating cards, that's the blue one

Hmmm, I swear I've seen a slab or two with it. But maybe I'm misremembering. I've never understood the use of the blue label.

Jeff over at the BGS forum gets some of these as he puts a minimum grade on order to avoid the paper labels.
The old mail in orders had a box to check for authentication only.

Here is an example.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/2018-19-Pan...p2047675.l2557

It's an auto, but pack-issued and from 2018.

So put a minum grade of 10 so you can get the silver authentication label?

I'd be curious to hear this as well about possibly getting a 20-30 Nike Poster Card order of Jordans Slabbed as Authentic with that Silver label.

My thought is blue label for authentic only. Cards will be slabbed with this if you want or card doesn't meet minimum grade. Cost is the same regardless. I emailed Beckett to see since it isn't being graded will the process be quicker and answer is no. 30 days = roughly 15 weeks.

The silver labels are for the BAS authentic autos.

I am kind of drawn to this too with the authentic labels. If it is for PC and you know the cards would grade poorly a nice uniform blue label brings up the eye appeal to me while also protecting the cards.
