....In 2000 Beckett was encapsulating all sportscards , regardless of era , using four subgrade categories listed on the reverse and there was a large artsy logo of a big ''B'' on the front....''BVG'' was first used several years later than 2000 and they still retained the sub-grade system for several more years.....this Goodwin '52 Mantle is a fairly recent submission.
.....and wow what a memory you have !
