Marc S.about BCCG is that they have frankly confused collectors. There have been all too many isntances lately whereby collectors have paid BGS 9.5 prices for BCCG 10 cards. Which they are clearly not.
Beckett now has three different grading systems -- many of them all grading the same card. I can have my 1968 Topps common graded by BGS, BVG and BCCG, and I will likely get three (noticeably) different results.
Combined with the fact that Beckett only has one population report for all three tiers of services (with a 9 of one service co-mingled with 9's of other services) -- it is a great disservice to the community, and in my mind will negatively impact Beckett's long-term viability.
And there are also now people selling Beckett's "pre-grades reviews" on Ebay, as if that alone has value, too.
