Estang, looks like you got some good prices...and the sellers didn't do so well (BVG is pretty expensive, no?)
What's your opinion on BVG? Do you have any x-over experience? I've crossed a couple of BGS cards and they did very well...but my one BVG try didn't go anywhere near as well.

My BVG crossover experience is 50%. I crossed 2 BVG cards to SGC. My 59 Topps Orlando Cepeda went from BVG 8 to SGC 88 but my 67 Topps Sutton BVG 7.5 came back as having evidence of trimming. Go figure,  .

Scott,
I've had no experience crossing over BVG/BGS over to SGC. On those cards I will very likely leave them as is. I rather enjoy the BVG holders.
I have noticed that there's some good BVG deals out there. I think they can be too harsh on one sub-grade and throw off the entire final grade of a card because they say the lowest sub-grade can make the overall grade be just 1/2 point higher.
I realize that there are some sheet cut BVGs out there, but we've been through that and it doesn't bother me so much. Not preferrable, but they sure look sweet.

Erik,
I also think that the Beckett's slab isn't all that bad of a device. Of all of them out there, I think it is the most tamper-proof...and I like its mass...nice chunk of plastic.
My problem (again) goes back to storage...I've got PSA and SGC storage boxes, and can't bear the thought of another. I wish that all of the slabs were the same size -- it would make my life easier!

The BVG holders (I have a few but not many) fit nicely into the standard graded card storage boxes. In addition, the graded card sleeves I use for all my graded cards fit nice and snug around the bvg holder--it is a perfect fit.

I use the graded card sleeves on all of my SGC slabs and I think they fit just fine too.

The problem that I've had with BGS/BVG holders is that they scratch other ones if you store them next to another slab -- I don't use the baggies, I suppose they would eliminate this concern.
