E-Pack

[RR 250]

Sorry for stupid question but I have never owned a e-pack card or even never bought on the internet.

But can you send from this e-pack a card you own direct to PSA or BGS for grading. And then the other question. If you do shouldn´t there be pretty good chance to get good grad on the card when nobody have touched it physically.

no only closest way is through ComC to beckett ....

I know my situation doesn't help you right now, but I pulled an Auston Matthews card from OPC Platinum. I had it sent to my home from COMC for personal inspection and when I figured it would grade minimally a 9, I submitted it for raw grading and it came back a 9.5. It's at BGS right now getting slabbed. I guess theoretically it should grade better since it wasn't packed out or handled by many people.

You can submit directly through COMC but personally, if it's a high dollar card, I'd rather see it myself and then decide.

I had an Auston Matthews YG through e-pack that graded a 9, but I think this was their error on a centering grade, should have been a 9.5. I've also had Marner and Laine YG's grade extremely well. So as mentioned above, theoretically yes, it should grade better.

From UD you'd have to transfer to COMC (which is free), then submit to BGS for grading. The advantage to this is it's cheaper as you're only paying the grading fee, and maybe even less. I've averaged about $17.00 per card cost. Compare this with $50 if you package and send yourself. And the turnaround seems to be faster through the COMC/BGS agreement. I have gotten each card back within 1 month while I've heard others submit for 10 day service on cards have been waiting 3-4 months.

I'd strongly recommend seeing the card first yourself.
Keep in mind the card has still been handled by people either at UD or at COMC. Additionally, the cards often have manufacturing issues that would give them a lower grade.
