[darscards35kd]

2008-09 Bowman Chrome Refractors Gold Russell Westbrook 9.5
2005-06 Finest Refractors Gold Chris Paul 9.5
2008-09 SP Authentic Russell Westbrook JSY AU/299 RC 9.5/10
2008 Playoff Contenders Mike Stanton AU/149 * 9.5/10
2010 Topps Chrome Wrapper Redemption Autographs Refractors Jason Heyward 9.5/10

Big surprise on the Westbrook SPA!!! I got it raw reviewed TWICE, and both times it got a 9, so I was kinda bummed. Then I send it in, and they bump it to a 9.5! I was pumped when I saw that.

Can't wait to receive them, will post a thread with scans when I do.

Awesome man! Well done!

Look forward to a scan of the WB!

Congrats on ALL 9.5s!!!

Got a quick question for you. when you submit the autographed cards, do you have to pay extra $2 to grade the auto?

[darscards35kd]

Not sure honestly. I graded them at a show. I do believe grading autos was like $.50-$1 more though.

thanks for the comments

If you get the cards RCR then Slabbed they waive the autograph fee.

wait, when u sent the Westbrook in, was it in the RCR bgs 9 case, or raw?

Had to be raw or they would have just slabbed it with same rcr grades.

Grats on the nice grades OP

Grats on the nice grades OP

that is exactly why I am asking, I have seen people send in RCR's for slabbing and get back a different grade....

some people say that if you take the RCR's from the Beckett booth and submit them at a later time, you are no longer guaranteed the RCR grade, however how is Beckett to even know if you took the card from the Beckett booth (doesn't look like they put any notes on the invoice that would suggest they follow this rule, although I could be wrong)?

just curious if OP submitted raw or RCR'ed....if RCR'ed, I want to know if it was a direct submission at the Beckett both immediately after getting the RCR's back..

I have a couple high value cards that hit RCR 9.5's and I submitted immediately after getting them back at the Beckett booth...I am just a little uneasy about getting them back after hearing stories from people either getting bumps or docked grades vs their initial RCR grades...

edit: another thing I was thinking about...technically there is no record of the RCR grades. unless you literally take a picture of the card in the RCR case when you get it back, there is no record of it. what if you get a bgs 9 back after it was a RCR 9.5 and you call Becket and they tell you tough, how do they even know what your RCR grade is besides you telling them? i am sure they have a notation somewhere in their internal system, but that does us no good...

yup, we did 10 day also. so far no correspondance at all from Beckett. I called them today and said they are backed up and that an e-mail should get generated in a week or so and the cards should be back around the 16th??

who told u next week, or did is that your guess?

[burke23]

Charles said that the cards although they are taking it with them during the weekend, wouldnt start to get processed till that weds (of last week). So counting 10 business days starting wed would be wed to thurs of next week.

OP cant wait to see those beauties !

[puregreen5]

Awesome grades bro! Huge Congrats on that Westbrook bump, not only a bump in value, but a bump in beauty as well. Take care, Ryan

gotcha...just out of curiosity, did u get any e-mails or anything from Beckett yet?

[darscards35kd]

thanks ryan!! almost as good as your last submission haha (not even close)

[brandonlec]

What the heck?! I had a 9.5 Westbrook with a killer patch and I didn't even know it? :P
Why did I trade that you stupid thing. I miss that card every day. -.- hahaha
I guess that's what I get for not grading cards ever.

[XARZY]

No email yet. I emailed JSA looking for assistance because the cards they sent to bgs for encapsulation have taken a month! Like seriously! WTF! Beckett received the cards FROM JSA on April 3rd! I submited the cards to JSA on April 11th!!

[darscards35kd]

Nice...all klay Thompson I submitted came back 9.5 for me too



congrats on that, hopefully you got some with 10 autos

[advan24r]
