My understanding from just now speaking with Bill is that he is free to submit to any grading company he wants to. He said he will continue using the grader the consignor chooses and/or the one that will bring the most money in auction. I think in our space that will continue to be mostly SGC and PSA. He said his catalog is staying the same. I understand he is under a multi-year contract and after that I don't know (I didn't ask).
. He is going to continue to be a valued advertiser on our board too, which I am appreciative of. The checks and resources will be coming from Beckett but Bill's auction should look the same for at least several years to come. He is excited about the new possibilities he has coming his way. I wish him all the best.
