Prescreening Service

We offer an optional Pre-Screening Service.

Detailed Pre-Screening - $5/card

Our expert screeners screen for 9's and 10's, and "reject" cards determined to be 8 or lower.

(Note: This prescreening standard applies to ultra-modern cards. Any other cards, such as Vintage cards, are approved if they have potential value greater than the grading fee in their current condition.)

Our Detailed screening includes markups and details on why cards are rejected.

All screening services include pictures and email communication for rejected cards.

Rejects are returned to you in the same shipment as your graded cards (once they return from BGS).

Our pre-screening service is an optional add-on to our grading services, not a replacement. Any cards approved for grading should be sent to BGS. If you would like your cards only pre-screened without grading, it will cost $10/card.
