Buy/Sell/Trade Forum

Since the end of July I've been breaking out my cards from their plastic cases and slowly but surely the number I have cased are dwindling. There are two cards that I've decided not to breakout and will instead seek the same ungraded card (and possibly some added cards to balance the deal for valuation purposes) in trade.

• 1986-87 Fleer #82 Akeem Olajuwon RC

I hope to hear from you soon.

I'd say breakout the Olajuwan. It's only a VG 3 at best.  The BCCG grading service is different from their BVG and BGS grading. It uses a misleading number, you have to read the words "Good or Better". That means a "Good 2" or better grade, not an EX-MT 6.

Thanks Chuck. I'll do that with the Olajuwon card. I don't even remember it being sold as graded, but when I got it I was a little disappointed in that it wasn't PSA graded nonetheless. I'd never heard of any other grading system and I didn't have the Kobe card yet, either, so I generally avoided them because I couldn't usually afford those.
