I know this is PSA, and I grade a lot with PSA. I have this question about doing some grading with Beckett, and this group is always amazing and helpful. So that is why I am posting here for help.

Does anyone know if you can submit a minimum grade requirement on a Raw ungraded card? I have a 2023-24 Topps Mercury Victor Wembanyama Shaquille O'Neal Black Refractor /10 card.

The only reason I am posting this is because NICHOLE with their customer service sent me an email saying they don't.

Screenshot 1 is the message from Nichole. While Screenshot 2 is directly from their own website.

A BGS 9 of this card just sold on Ebay for $14,000. I have a little bit of equipment for looking at my card. I have lots of Loupes and a magnifying lamp that does 10x and 30x. All my Loupes go from 5x to 50x. I just don't see any faults in the card.

After I provided Nichole the screenshot about what her own website says. She says....

I don't know whether you can do a minimum grade requirement or not then. Do you want to go ahead and submit your card now?

I told her I will gladly submit my card once they can answer my question.

I just got 8 back signed from Shaquille O'Neal, and have 26 more to send out next month.

Does anyone else have any exciting autograph sessions coming up?

Everything will be going to PSA for grading due to value purposes. I wouldn't mind going Beckett, but their value will be lower.

This was not done through Mine O Mine as people may think. I had a promoter take my cards I gave him to the private signing where it was only Shaq, him and the Beckett Witness authenticity people who put the stickers on the back of each card with the cert numbers. I wish I had originally included that picture in my post, but here it is.

Here is one of my cards a while back I bought on Ebay. It was a population 2 card. Naturally, Ebay forced the seller to send it to the Ebay authenticity guarantee department so they can VERIFY a graded PSA card that was being sent to me from a reputable, well-known seller Situations like this should be able to be bypassed and sent to a buyer if themselves and the seller are both okay with it.

The picture of tracking shows the PSA EMPLOYEE who signed for it. After signing for it, that was the last time the card was ever seen. As it was never checked it. Ebay and PSA supposedly did an in-depth search on this. Even PSA and Ebay through that employee under the bus telling me he stole it.

I feel most sorry for the seller as he lost his card and money. Ebay eventually refunded me my money.

u/psacard This is what your fellow employees do when they think nobody is looking.

I did eventually buy a similar card through Goldin Auctions. which doesn't make up for PSA stealing it. As I would have loved to have it plus my new card. here is my new card.

sad that I had shared lots of great information, and had to delete it. I am not sure who did it, but someone went through here with a group of people DOWN VOTING into oblivion every single comment I made with people. I am not going to have my account destroyed by people like this. so sadly I had to delete my comments because of this. it was probably a bunch of bitter PSA employees.

I normally always grade with PSA, but they are just too busy nowadays. I have graded with SGC in the past, but never personally with BGS, although I have graded cards by all companies.

I have over 50 of these rookie year Shaquille O'Neal autograph cards that I am looking to grade this go around, and here are a few. I am leaning towards BGS as they seem to carry a lot higher market value than SGC. I actually don't normally sell, but like having my cards graded versus not being graded.

Looking for feedback from everyone here. Which company would you choose between BGS and SGC, and why? Thanks in advance, and I appreciate you all.

Edit: I really wanted to thank everyone for contributing and helping.

I have 5 more Raw ungraded 1995-96 Beam Team B14 Michael Jordan Non Die Cut and Die Cut cards that i am looking to have graded. I am trying to learn from the PROS in here. What would these grade? I welcome the feedback so I can get better.

These are all the pictures to my submission of the Jordan cards. I also had other cards that graded fair. I do appreciate all the feedback so far on this post...

I guess I just dropped the ball on these. As I have pretty good stuff for pre-grading my cards. If you look at some previous submissions you will see that I normally do pretty good. These were all 30 year old cards as well. So I realize the grades may be close, but seemlow is all.

Funny thing was my 2 1995-96 Beam Team B14 Michael Jordan Non Die Cut cards just a few months prior all went through Ebay authenticity guarantee department (which is PSA), and they were deemed authentic. Yet this grader gave them both an N4 which means counterfeit. The last picture shows a Shaq I cracked from a 7, and it came back an 8. So I was happy with that as I used lots of my equipment, and thought it would grade better than the 7.

I do appreciate you all for your help and insight.

Help me understand why this got a 4. I am simply asking to learn as I have seen many of you dissect a card, and find stuff on them. I just felt it was a little harsh. I have the original pictures pre submission. It literally does not look like the same card. Mine didn't have dinged corners.

Here is a follow-up since thus post that shows all the pictures. You guys all rock, and I appreciate you all.
