BGS 2-5 day service

I’ve seen stories of these premium services taking months. Anyone have any experience to share? I was going to do a 2 day service but bgs just doubled their prices…kind of turned off by beckett now

Last I heard from a MTG group was 2 day running 3-6 weeks and 5 day 2months++

I did a 5 day NO SUBS order a few weeks ago. Turnaround time including shipping both ways was under two weeks.

Beckett with no subgrades, can you explain?

Didn’t want to pay the extra money and didn’t think it would help the value lol Back then the price was $40 per card. I would not send anything in at the current express prices.

the bgs label no subs looks very minimalist which many people claim to be the reason why they hate cgc and love psa. There are no color changes no bar code and not much text so you can view the actual card

Im working on the complete eseries no sub bgs 8.5 to 9 (admit the label changes between colors are terrible) because it looks astounding in a black display case and the cards really pop

Quick rant… why do ALL the grading companies think it is okay to leave these services listed as 2-5 days, 1 month or wwhatever when in reality they have almost NEVER been even remotely close to those times? We all know the times, but someone uneducated that uses thisa for the first time will be so confused and worried when it ends up being months waiting.

Why is it actually so hard to change these times? It is literally lying to the consumer. Am I wrong?

Fully agree, they rather put a disclaimer right next to the name saying that it might take longer than expected haha - I can´t take BGS seriously anymore, I have a bulk sub sitting there since 2019.

You’re right.
Simply false advertising.

Wow was it the end of 2019 at least? Like November December. I’ve heard BGS goes pretty much ghost mode and doesn’t even let you know they received the cards for ages.

It was October 2019, a friend of mine has one sitting there since July 2019 :grin: It´s absolutely ridiculous.

Oh my gosh, bulk since 2019. Holy crap.

Ok so I’ve seen different statements for the faster grading. Some say 1-2 weeks, other say a month. I wish I lived in Texas and could just give them my card and get it graded there

BGS 2 days is 2 days

I generally had good turnarounds with BGS 2/5 day grading. From the time they register the card, it almost always takes them exactly 2 or 5 days to grade the card and have it ready to be shipped back.
