Default Beckett Grading

Hey guys. I'm pretty new to this and have NEVER gotten any card graded before. I have a few now that I would like graded. I was hoping that you could share any advice on how to do this, best practices etc. Anything you think I should know or do or advice you have would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

It depends on a lot of factors on how you want to proceed. Answer some of these and we can give you a better answer for your situation:
1) How many cards?
2) What are the max and min value of the cards?
3) Are you comfortable mailing them to a middleman to save money?
4) If you live in NY, you might be able to attend a card show in your area where they grade them onsite and then take them back to BGS to slab.
5) What years are the cards from?

Truthfully, there a hundred threads on this topic all across this message board. Use the search engine too.

Default Hey dude.

Probably 10 cards
Current value of cards between 75-400 roughly
Not sure about the middleman
I live in NY-how do I find card shows where grading is done?
Cards I have are 2015-2017

This is a group submission that if you're willing to use a trusted middleman, can save you on sending cards for grading/slabbing to BGS.
