Then put them in whatever slab you like the best. To me SGC looks the best and BVG are built the strongest.

Which part? I feel the same about the first part. Don't know enough about the second part.

In your guys opinion, does Beckett do a good job with vintage? That's what I was trying to get at?

[samosa4u]

Beckett does do a good job grading vintage cards, but the problem is that they have a small market share. They are popular when it comes to modern cards though. Their holder is pretty secure and you need a sledgehammer to break it.

You think they are small, you should look at GAI.....talk about the collapse of a good thing.

...yeah but sometimes you have to hold their hand and then re-submit providing more information which one would think they would already have somewhere in their specs library.....if you famously provide large holders and have the word "vintage" in your name , people expect you to identify large vintage sportscards...this incident was years ago , so I presume by now they are more proficient with Dizzy Dean Metropolitan Studios Premiums that were drawn on by some kid back in 1931 ;( really good job too )

Basically dies Beckett do a good job with vintage?

I've never had a problem with BVG. Have used all of them with similar results. If you're fed up with PSA, why not try something different.

I think BVG does a great job with vintage.

Agreed, and their holders and service are outstanding...

[swarmee]

Depends on what you're fed up with PSA about. Just inconsistency in grading? Why do you want the cards slabbed instead of just raw? Are you willing to pay $13 a card and wait for more months than PSA to get them into an inferior (market price) grader's slab?
Why not have BCCG grade them for a few bucks a card to "confirm" they're not trimmed? Why not just leave them raw?

The market disagrees with you.
