Which company would you recommend for grading baseball card packs? I have a brand new pack of the 1991 TOPPS Desert Shield Baseball card and I want to get them graded.

GAI may actually be the only main grading service to offer this. Many of the collectors on the PSA boards have mentioned GAI for grading packs as well.

Click here for more information on the GAI web site.

Welcome!

Actually, SGC is still active with card grading. I think you might mean SCD?

Agreed though that BGS, GAI, PSA and SGC are the top 4.

I have PSA, but PSA does not grade packs.

Do you have a link to SGC? What does SGC mean?

Thanks,

As I indicated in my first reply, GAI would be the place for grading packs. In fact, they may be the only ones.

For grading of cards, I'd stick to either BGS, GAI, PSA or SGC. SGC is Sportscard Guaranty and their web site is www.sgccard.com.
