Is Beckett (BGS) starting to gain respect in the pre-war community?

Well for many years now BGS has had tremendous respect and a very strong following with the very modern card collectors (1998-present), especially with Baseball "prospectors" and their precious Bowman Chrome autograph rookie cards. Some modern collectors even go as far as saying "something is wrong" with a, for example, Justin Upton Gold refractor RC that is graded by PSA and not BGS. Well with all the recent "scares" and fraud that is going on with many vintage and pre-war PSA graded cards, do you guys see more and more Pre WW2 and vintage collectors switching over to BGS slabs for the added comfort of not only the best protection, but also to feel safe from potential fraud? Beckett claims to have "The strongest slabs in the business" and isn't that what people would want protecting their thousands upon thousands of dollars worth of investments? Im seeing more and more high grade, valuable vintage and pre war cards in BGS holders. What do you guys think and is anyone else thinking about doing more of their grading with BGS?
