Gretzky, Lemieux, Yzerman, Sakic, Jagr RCS

[Rwolfrom]

Well I'd like to invest some money in a few of these rc's and have some questions. I've done a bit of research and realize I either need a graded one or an authentic one. Here are some questions and please feel free to add anything that may help my search!

1) Is BCG better than PSA?
2) Is grading different than authentication? (Would PSA grade a fake card?)
3) What are the "spots", "marks" to look for on these to know that they are real?
4) Anything else?

BGS is better than PSA in the hobby's overall opinion. A BGS 9.5 will often fetch as much and sometimes more than a PSA 10

1) As for the reply from gamebreakers.. BGS/BVG usually always out sells PSA.. And avoid BCCG all together..

2) Grading determines the overall condition of the card. Authentication merely tells you that it's a genuine article.

3) This is far too in depth to go over on a message board. If you have a reputable card shop (Dave & Adams) will be able to set ya straight.

4) Oh yea, I have all of your wants available less the Lemieux.. LOL!

I agree with the previous posters. BGS/BVG will outperform PSA/SGC/Other in the time period of the cards you mentioned.

If you are interested, then I have the following cards available:

Brett Hull - 1988/89 OPC - BGS 8.5
Patrick Roy - 1986/87 OPC - BGS 9
Joe Sakic - 1989/90 OPC - BGS 9.5
Brendan Shanahan - 1988/89 OPC - BGS 9
Steve Yzerman - 1984/85 Topps - BGS 9
Steve Yzerman - 1984/85 OPC - BGS 9
