Does BGS ever release grades early?

[Bob Loblaw]

I've only graded a few times in the past 10 years and without fail, BGS populates (or "pops") the grades on the final date of the submission.

With 70+ Aaron Nola autographs sitting at Beckett right now, I'm a little antsy as my "pop" date is Monday.

I suspect the answer is no, but has anyone gotten their grades a day early? I've already figured out what my submission #s are, and I will be looking at those through the population report - is it possible that those can come early as well?

The grades pop on their site earlier than the email they send you which tells your grades. I recommend you check the serial #s of your labels on Friday.

That's what I figured.

Thanks.

So, today is "refresh" day. Gonna be pissed if they don't show up on the site.

What a great idea!

Also, I have had grades completed early and I'd suspect that your grades will be posted today.

BGS shuts down operations the entire week of the Nationals so if they are due next Monday I'd think that you wouldn't have them until the following Monday :/

I have a submission popping today and I had one on Wednesday. I also have a PSA submission coming up on Monday next week so I am happy/nervous as we go through the next few days.

I dropped my cards off at a show in Dallas on 7/11 for the 10-day service. They charged my credit card for 14 cards at the 10-day service. Yesterday they added the order onto my Beckett.com account (after I emailed them and got no response) and it says 20-day service level due 8/12.

I've emailed them and tried to call, but the phone number on their submission form doesn't work. Blah.

Call the # on the website. I've never had a problem. Or email them.

...Getting sick of hitting the refresh button... almost 3pm and no grades on the day before pop day... I had considered the National thing but I was hoping that since my official pop date on the order is the 27th (as per their own entry), the cards would show up online today and mailed out monday.

You're OK. Holiday list for Beckett starts on the 29th of July, so if Pop date is Monday, they'll be mailed Monday.

Good.

Thank you for that.

Just been looking forward to these things early-popping today. Don't want to have to wait all weekend. :)

Then again, they may ruin my weekend . . . :coffee:

I had the shimmers down as non auto. My bad!

Nola seems like an easy grade so I'd say closer to 55+ gem

Better color is off-center, evidence of all of the 8.5 centering grades currently shown ... I think that keeps them down a bit.

Agreed. I am hoping for 9 on the red. Praying for one of those "what the hell was BGS thinking" happy moments.

[msterling21]

Good luck Bob, what do you plan to do when them after they come in? Sell or hold?

[Bob Loblaw]

Sigh.... 8 pm est and nothing... :(

The waiting, truly is, the hardest part.

Argh.

I know of some people who don't want to know their grades until FedEx delivers their shipments.

Could you do it?

I know I couldn't.

Absolutely not. Knowing that the grades are posted -- that's like not looking online at your college or grad school test results and waiting for the report card to get there in the mail....

That's how I am. I look at it as similar to ripping a new case that comes to the house. Pull 'em out one by one to see the grades, even though the grades are teasing me by being online.

[jewcer2k5]

FWIW I have the nola bowman chrome auto's up so I am checking it every 15 mins for ya :)

Waiting on a PSA order of my own today so both sites are locked and loaded.

[sammyjankis]

Good luck, I hope yours pops today with a ton of gold.

[jewcer2k5]

FWIW your grades popped.

[jewcer2k5]

Looks like my estimates were high and so were Chapmans. A little rough but at least they are all graded.

[Bob Loblaw]

whimper......

Ah well. Win some, lose some. There's enough 9.5s that will at least cover the grading cost.

I redeemed 12 Nolas I sent 1 in for grading. I do have a green that might cut the mustard. Interested to see how many 9.5s or better you got
