SHOCKING MISS?! $6M Michael Jordan Rookie Cards Fail to Hit BGS 10, 31 PSA 10s Stumble!" 

As a collector of 6 years, I've grown to care less and less about the grading and pricing of the cards, and more about actual collecting. Like these numbers mean literally nothing if its the same exact card. Most people can't tell the difference between a 7 and 10 from 3 feet away. Sometimes collectors get so tied up in the price and protential profit on a saturated market calling everything "investments" that most forgot why they originally started collecting in the first place. At the end of the day... the true value of a card is determined by how much it actually makes you happy. It's why I stopped collecting long ago. Prices just got out of hand and I am happy with what I have.

Grading is a scam . Too many stories of people buying the grade they want.

Prob is a turd. Collectors that act like their cards or collection is superior just cracks me up. I love when you show someone a hit and they can’t be happy for ya instead wanna just show you all their best cards like your a peasant hahaha. Keep it fun whatever it takes 💯

Everyone has said it- if you send in a card in a competitive company's holder, then it will never cross over to a higher grade with the new company, due to the simple, yet abundantly obvious reason of subjectve bias. There is nothing positive that can come out for BGS if they crossed a PSA card into a BGS 10. Great look for PSA, and bad look for BGS. Probstein is stupid for even thinking it would happen.

Hopefully we get back to the BGS 9.5 equalling PSA 10 in pricing

Dude seems super shady

Just discovered your channel and I’m loving it!

I'll never understand why people would rather PSA slabs over Beckett

Back when Fleer released this in 1986 I was slling/buying sports cards as a hobby. At most of the shows I set up at 1986 Fleer Basketball was not very popular, Baseball & football were what collectors were after. I remember stacks of these boxes sitting on tables unsold.

Before SCR, Beckett would have graded at least 5 of them black label 10, but now the good ol boys network is under a 10x 🔎, they can't pull these shenanigans anymore.

I wonder if any had all 9.5+ subgrades

This industry is a huge scam. I feel bad for collectors getting fleeced by these sharks.

Out of 13,552 graded only 6 are BGS 10 Pristine and no Black Labels. Not surprised none came back Pristine. PSA gives 10's like its going out of style.

I’m so glad. He is the worst and runs a shady business

Nice video and you're correct, the deactivated certs don't necessarily mean Rick's copies are bad. It's a heavily counterfeited item, so there's always a risk, even the active cards are bad.

I said it back in '89 and I'll say it again that this isn't Jordan's RC card. It's his first Fleer (or one of two Fleer) card. Jordan's true rookie card is '84-'85 Star card. Personally, I don't collect 3rd year card.

He’ll probably say that Beckett is antisemetic 🤦

All BGS 10 Pristines would grade as PSA 10, but not all PSA 10s will grade BGS 10 Pristine. That's the BGS difference!

Beckett the best. Don’t be a follower , be a leader

Grading is such a scam on most cards. This card is one that should be graded but 99/100 cards people get graded for no reason.

I want to know who made his frame. I would love to do this on a smaller scale with my Emmitt Smtih cards.

well played BGS 💯‼

Every PSA fan, who doesn't understand BGS, need to watch this excellent video. BGS 10 needs to be placed right at the top where it belongs(~3x or more of a PSA 10). The value of a BGS 9.5 is not the equivalent of a PSA 9 either. That drives me crazy! This Injustice started during the pandemic. It was much different prior to that.

This is completely meaningless bc none of them were cracked, grading companies have huge egos & will automatically be extremely biased on crossovers in an attempt to prove to people that they have the stricter grading standards! It’s all BS & ego & crossovers never get a fair grade speaking from a lot of personal experience here

If you had cracked them out and submitted - would have been better odds

Should of sold 30 of them amd kept 1

Amazing cards with fudge loving this shop im sure Jay loved it there wowwww !🙏😂😂😂😂🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Love these videos. Great writing/research.

31 PSA 10 Jordan rookies!!! Hearing that is CRAZY!!! wow

Y would you crack open something thats already a 10 please make yhat make sense

Most likely Beckett knew these cards were altered that's why they didn't give one of them a BGS 10.

great video, I remember seeing that card growing up only once. I regrets not buying it was selling for $100 but at that time $100 was big money in 1993

Ever since Beckett started grading a pristine became the rarest and highest grade.

moral of the story: don't cross-grade, crack and submit raw (risk it for da biscuit)

This was just a publicity stunt by this guy at the national... he wasn't offered $6m at the NSCC

Unfortunately you’re not allowed to Minimum grade 10…. Highest you can do is 9.5… for Beckett …so every one of them should have been cracked out to Bgs 9.5

lol if Rick didn't prescreen those psa 10s, he's just lazy or incompetent. at best 5-6 would have a chance to cross. sounds like a marketing stunt for Beckett tbh.

Only family membersOr friends or or partners in the can't make more of them because they'll go down and they gotta make The illusion that cards are really valuable... get A BGs 10

It shows also the grading happened years ago.

Give Beckett a little more money and they might give ya a 10 😂

I would have taken that 6 million flat. I know there's gonna be a huge recession coming up. My father works at 1 of the big firms. it's coming soon.

2:54 there’s that number again.

So if a BGS 10 was cracked to be regraded by Beckett. Would the maximum rating be 9.5?

Said this in a recent post and got flamed lol. I think a BGS 9.5 is better then most PSA 10's and should be valued that way. I purchased some recently graded PSA 10's and centering was way off. At this point how can PSA give a 10 to something that is obviously not? I can understand a grading company getting more stringent over the years but the other way around? Is PSA setting up their reputation to fail?

Of course Beckett is not going to admit PSA got it right.

BGS IS UNDER VALUED

Love it 0-31

i find this interesting that you find it interesting. i actually enjoyed this video.

Sounds like he should’ve left shit alone.

If u try to crossover BGS 10s to PSA 10s there’s a very good chance that a few of them won’t crossover & be labeled altered or min size

What are the odds of finding a jordan rookie in a sealed fleer pack 86

USE TAG grading. Then you will know why they gave the grade!

Nobody's paying millions for a bgs 10 Jordan. Those days are long gone and that guy was a fool to turn down the 6 million for those cards.

I love it

I hate scammers, but I hate over priced products more.

The grass aint greener on the other side in this case it seems.

I would call this one #epic_mj card -)

Don't yuo think that even if everyone was a beckett pristine 10 that 5 or 6 would be a smidge better. I would never send in more than 5 of any card that I think are 10s. Nice to be subjective but take 5 super models put them in a line and really tell me they are all going to be equal to each of us. Just an opinion that cost nothing. I would like to know how much Probstein paid Beckett to do basically nothing:)

I'm sorry but what kind of dumb guy turns down 6 million dollars..... If he gets lucky and sells all those cards for 200000 a card... But it will take . At least 5 to10 years.. Chances are not long it will go down not up There is just too many of the Is them... And I promise you the one that's got those perfect tense.. Is that company's buddies The only person that gets those perfect tens is the people that's buddies or family memberscams

Maybe 4 million? Wake up.

86 Fleer will fall.... Star is gonna go nuts

When he goes back to psa…will he get the same grade….wink wink nudge nudge old boys network.

Card grading is a joke !!

Grading is a joke...

BGS is really stringent with their grading metrics. 0-31 is just downright disappointing.😕

Lol 90s card stock is already tough, 80s card stock is pretty bad

Puber fail.

Is there a bgs with all 10's?

Whats a bgs 10 really worth?$300k?

well they werent 6 million dollars worth were they. lol.

Beckett saw this as a way to trash PSA. I am sorry but they didn't start card grading or have the corner on experts. If anything this should hurt the whole grading mess/scam. Anyone with 31 Jordan rookies unless he pulled them from packs has too many eggs in one basket. A friend of mine has 5 1984 Star sets in the package with invoice.

Great video. Anyone holding collectibles like this - sell ASAP. Prices are crumbling. Only getting worse. Unless you can afford to hold for 10+ yrs, sell now.

Good way to shut down a hoarder, Manipulator

He didnt crack any so who care?

There all fake there not putting there name on it

BGS is a scam. 0 for 31. 😮

Scam lol system they will put on there card lol dont fall for that grading system 😅😅😅😅 only a fool buy grade card

this video....IF you have ANY kind of brain...should tell you EVERYTHING you need to know about grading........enough said. I will hold my comments.

publicity stunt

Bgs is just flexing

Figures a jew

rick is a shiller

Pop control

Good glad Rick didn’t get back any BGS 10 because looks like greed all greed not the love for the hobby so yes consider me a hater then

NO, it makes better argument that human input is bullsvit and the future of Grading will be AI technology. Remove all of the human error, bias, and price controls. 0-31 shows both sides. PSA is inept, and BGS won't let certain cards into the club. None of my cards will ever be graded, until the AI platform becomes mainstream. Time both of these dinosaurs go into the dustbin of grading history.

Grading isnt all bias or subjective. There are multiple companies that use other ways of grading. Not every company is like psa, just glancing at a card and deciding a grade. TAG uses computers to find damage and tally it up. DSG uses humans to do the same thing.

He should send them back in with out the cover
