It still amazes me that Beckett isnt the leader when i first came back to the hobby. Beckett was the authority and the only name I even recognzied. They must of dropped the ball early on as they were positioned very easily to be the leader in third party grading due to the name recognition already and reliance on their publications by all the card collectors......the story of how PSA swooped in and took most of the market share must be an interesting one...
