Hello all,
Asking what it is worth?
Is BCS a hard grader or soft grader?
Borders are good not perfect, but it looks nice to me.
Thanks in advance
-
I would say typically conservative graded, in my opinion. It's worth the listing asking price, if it's your forte
-
My guess is it would grade 64 EPQ and I would buy it for the asking price of 1300. Not a steal but worth it if it's what you're looking for.
-
Thanks guys,
Looks like someone snatched it up or the seller ended the auction.
-
It was not me just for the record! I was actually surprised it was listed that long without being snatched up
-
I'm sorry! I said I would be buy it for 1300 and that's exactly what I did. I'm happy to pay a finders fee to TheBurnz though for kindly posting the info here.
-
Congrats Al-Bob, I was trying to negotiate with the seller. I had offered $1000 and the seller countered twice at $1250.
No finders fee needed, I am learning and I appreciate the info you and others provide. I enjoy the hunt and will continue to share with this great community. I would have accepted the counter offer, but I wasn't sure about the margins and the 60 BSC grade. This experience had made me more aware and more knowledgable.
I know the note has found a great new home.
Until the next note my friends.

P.S. are BSC holders bigger then the PMG or PSGS/Legacy or what ever it is today holders. Do they fit in the 3 note page or do you need to get the 2 note pages?
Thanks in advance.
-
Yes, BCS holders are bigger which is the main reason I end up cutting them open since they do not fit in my specially made boxes. Here are approximate measurements for standard holders for small-size notes:
PCGS: 8.25 x 4.25
PMG: 8.25 x 5
BCS: 8.5 x 5.5
CCCS: 8.375 x 5.375
I'm also not crazy about the double layer of plastic in BCS holders which just makes the notes less visible.
P.S. What 3-note pages do you have that can fit PMG/PCGS holders?
-
My apologies, I check this morning and my pages are two holders per page. But I am sure they have the option of 3 or more per page at the lighthouse warehouse in our area.
When I went there last year, I saw some jumbo size books.
