Me and Beckett Photos

[drc]

As numerous people have asked or assumed, I will state that I don't work for Beckett and don't examine photos for Beckett. When they started their photo grading division for or five years ago, I went down there and gave a seminar on photo identification and answered the occasional email question over say the next year. I also wrote some photo columns for one of their now defunct magazines. I had originally suggested they send photos to me and I'd examine them, but was told they wouldn't do that do to shipping cost (Beckett is in Dallas, I'm in Seattle), and I've never physically examined a photo for their grading services. I'm not sure if my name is still on their website, but I asked them to remove my name some time ago-- not because I was angry or similar at them, but just because I hadn't done any work for them in a while so figured my name shouldn't be listed there.
