(www.bestbaseballcards.com)I Do agree with most "objective" people that have responded, some are obviously biased. I agree that:
1. Beckett isn't as experienced (newer company)
2. SGC is superior IMO, to PSA AND GAI.
3. Beckett hasn't really tapped the vintage cards, but I believe this is mainly because most "gradeable" cards have already been graded for vintage. But where that isn't the case with new era cards, beckett is clearly gaining market share, if they haven't already surpassed PSA. SGC really isn't even in the running here.
I still have to stick with my guns and say that Beckett is the strictest (IMO), and I would much prefer a BVG8 Nolan Ryan rookie than a PSA8 Nolan Ryan rookie. I let a BVG5 Jackie Robinson Rookie sell on ebay for about $1100, and it was better than any PSA 6 I have ever seen. A PSA 5 wouldn't sell for nearly that much.
Again, I really am not into 19th century....can someone direct me to forums that are not explicitly 19th century so I don't disrupt you any more...
Thanks...
