Grading sports cards

I know I posted the same question yesterday but I believe (being new to the forum) I posted it in the wrong place.

Anyways, I'm looking to send in about 100 sports cards to be graded does anyone have a recommendation between PSA and/or Beckett. The cards are relatively new 10-15 years old.

Also, and less important, but helpful nonetheless, would anyone know the cheapest way of doing it (as opposed to the $10 a card).

Thanks to everyone in advance

Re: Grading sports cards

It has been mentioned that while both are great companies. PSA for vintage and Beckett for modern.

If you sign up for a yearly subscription, they have discounted prices or so many free.

Look at an online price guide to see if they are even worth being graded. If you believe they are a 10. They aren't. Take whatever grade you feel and they may be 2 points lower. Depending on how well you know cards, that can vary.

Good luck!

Everyone has options. Just be sure the best option is right for you.

It's all a scam. They both grade fakes. Look at the color difference in cards for tom brady rookie ticket. They have a ton of different shades. They also take advantage of people on here who don't know what they got

Re: Grading sports cards

Although I realize this post is more than a year old, I don't remember seeing it before.  I would disagree with the first response.  PSA for modern, BGS for vintage.  Since you said your cards are 10-15 years old, I would definitely go with PSA.

Perhaps something has changed that I’m not aware of. I don’t keep up with the trade much anymore.
