Hi all! I just purchased a collection that looks like it includes a gem mint Arabian Nights collection. I know the previous owner and he opened these himself and has stored them since. I'd like to send a few off to have graded but think there are a few different services. Anybody have experience or thoughts on who to go with?

The two big names in the USA are PSA and BGS. I personally don't like BGS because when I was looking at getting some cards graded, their rep asked me about my budget and then kept pressuring me to spend significantly more money.
Other than that personal anecdote, both companies have a decent reputation. A BGS 10 is harder to achieve than a PSA 10, allegedly, but it really depends on how the grader is feeling that day, so your mileage WILL vary just because at the end of the day it's a human making a decision.

Thanks for the info. I did send an email to beckett with an inquiry earlier today, guessing I'll hear back tomorrow. I'll for sure grade the big cards (library, juzam, bazaar) but might do some of the might levels also.
thanks!
