2008 Topps Chrome Refractor Russell Westbrook bgs 9.5/PSA 10?

[Kards]

Any idea of the value on each of these? I know centering is tougher on these over the colorered refractors. Anyone have 1?

I've got a bgs 9.5 w 9 centering. There are only 2 bgs 9.5 and 2 psa 10. Not sure on values.

Bgs 9.5 around $1k or so? Psa double?

Why would psa be double? Psa 10 doesn't = Bgs 10. I feel like Bgs 9.5 is the same as psa 10, actually prefer Bgs since it gives the subgrades where as psa doesn't.

The orange refractor /499 psa 10 got $800 on eBay, so I would think the regular refractor gets $500-600

PSA is always higher than BGS. Always. PSA 10s are much tougher than BGS 9.5s. There's a reason Jordan Fleer 10s do so much more than a BGS 9.5. Same is true of all the Chromes, even the Prizms.

I'd pay at least 1.5x (maybe even 2x...haven't had that situation occur) more for PSA 10 over BGS 9.5. Some BGS 9.5s would grade out as a PSA 9 because PSA looks at the totality of the card...i.e. 10s on surface and edges wouldn't necessarily cancel out a low 9 centering.

yup im with ya. people that pay more for psa 10s are nuts in my books. bgs is superior to me in every way. i just posted about this in the football forum. but hey if psa is your thing then go for it.

I have a feeling a psa 10 refractor will sell more than the orange bc it's a much tougher gem based on pop reports.

Adavis32 just got his 9.5 crossed to a PSA 10. They are both atleast $1k and the PSA 10's should be worth $1500+

Yep..12-15 years ago BGS outsold PSA easily... I know I bought a lot and graded a lot of cards years ago.... Then Boom, set registry and crazy stuff happened.

I also laugh at the debate though..I have both in my collection and am fine with both.Both have good and bad features and stories, but neither is so much better than the other to start an argument or demand such crazy different prices..
