As a result Beckett vintage grades are a total hodgepodge blender method of grading whereas PSA/SGC has baselines like "if this issue exists you won't go higher than X" and from there you can judge eye appeal issues accordingly.....
I stopped buying Beckett Graded Cards (Vintage) long ago as my personal crossover rate on them has been miserable (maybe 20%)
