I have never understood the hate for BCCG cards because as long as you can read you should be OK. The grade is clearly printed on the label in big letters.

I have learned a lot since I joined this forum, and I still, admittedly, have a long ways to go yet, but if I have learned something, then that is the fact there is a lot of dishonesty and deception within this hobby.

With that being said, it would be nice, sort of, if I were just talking about dishonest sellers, not about a grading company or TPG, whichever you prefer, to be one of those dishonest deceptive people!

I am not sure what you are referring to, Ben? I see the label as a 10, Mint or Better. There is nothing there that I see that would suggest this card, or any other, is not graded like the rest, or remotely close to what people are use to or is the norm in hobby.

It's funny what this guy decided to add in his post just to make it that much more alluring or appealing. A newbie, rookie, neophyte, or whatever you want to call them, would/will likely eat this stuff up. I know when I first re-joined the hobby and this site after a 30+ yr absence, I was one of them.

We just see the same thing differently Dale. Hope you are having a great day!

To me that card is labeled correctly as a BCCG 10 Mint or Better. It would be the same as a PSA 9 Mint and I have seen several cards in that exact condition labeled as such. Many people do see Beckett as the worlds most trusted source in collecting, I personally do not.

I see many things in this hobby as much worse than a label that people can't figure out how to read correctly. Yes I complain about those too not that is does any good.
