Sending this in to get graded. I have ZERO clue of how to properly packagr and submit. I've read the instructions on the BGS site, but figured you grading vets might have a more reliable/secure way of sending.

Looking for any and all advice on this subject including what type of service (return time) to get. Thanks!

If submitting just one card, package it like you would when mailing someone a card you sold or traded. Insure it you want.

Simple enough. Thanks

Unless they've changed, the instructions are pretty clear. If possible, put the card in a Card Saver I, which are larger than toploaders and Card Saver IIs, intended for 1952-56 Topps size cards. They will cut the holder open, so the extra width on the holder helps. Don't put it in a penny sleeve. Then sandwich it between a couple or more pieces of cardboard taller and wider than the card. Make sure you've taken an extra hard look at it for any flaws. Looks nice, but scans tell about 20% of the story. You want to wipe off any fingerprints or smudges as best you can without scratching the gloss.

Beckett actually strongly suggests putting it in a penny sleeve.

I put my cards in a thick card sleeve and the bigger card saver. Both have extra room so the card is easy to access.
