..I am extremely selective to the point of paranoia before submitting cards to any 3rd party grader , and was doubly so back in the day when I submitted to Beckett ; cards which I thought would be absolute locks for the top shelf highly- prized "NM 7" , if not (gasp) a half grade higher , would invariably be returned as 6's and 6.5's......they are very conservative at grading vintage cardboard ; I don't use them as much anymore. I've had untouched one-owner very-well-preserved like-new pack-fresh yada yada etc. cards returned ungraded with notes of "shaved" "pressed" and the like--- Beckett was tough.
