Can you send in a BCCG 10 to PSA and get it graded by PSA? it seems that PSA graded cards sell for a lot more dollar signs

If you send a PSA 10 to Beckett and they deem it a BGS 9 they won't crack the slab and regrade. Not sure if PSA has the same policy about regrading Beckett slabs. If not, your BGS 10 could get downgraded by PSA. Each company has different grading standards. Compounded by each grader is a person with an opinion. And that's all grading is...an OPINION.

Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.

Yes, you can, but I've had better luck cracking from the BCCG slab and sending in raw. One thing to be careful of with BCCG is they use a completely different grading scale. A BCCG 10 is labeled as 'Mint or Better', which is a 9 from PSA or BGS. A BCCG 9 'NM or Better' or the equivalent of a 7, BCCG 8 'EX or Better' a 5, etc.

These are of the same card 1986 Barry Bonds
PSA 10 $88
BCCG 10 $12
so sending to PSA may give me a better sale outcome...

You've misread the grades. You're comparing apples to rotten apples, so to say.
The Beckett is a 9 Near Mint not a 10. Beckett has two grades above 9; 9.5 and 10. The PSA is at the highest grade available. Big difference in values.

Rough heirarchy: BGS 10 (black label) > BGS 10 (gold label) > BGS 9.5 = PSA 10 > BGS/PSA 9 > BCCG 10
ETA: The listing linked to was a sold BCCG 10 for $12, eBay being ever so helpful showed a 'similar' BCCG 9.
FWIW, that specific BCCG 10 would get a PSA 8 most days. The centering was too far off LR to get a 9.

BCCG is a lower-end grading service. Beckett claims that it is to make grading services available to the majority of collectors. I don't think many "invetment-minded" collectors take BCCG very seriously.
PSA graded cards do command a slight premium. They are the most established and widely used. Some set builders want all their slabbed cards to match, so PSA gives the best chance at building a matched set ..at least in the vintage world.
The other respected services are SGC and BGS. Both of these are reported to have tougher upper-end grading standards than PSA.
BCCG is not well respected and can't really be accurately compared the big three.
