...This has to be the Black Swan of Beckett Grading -- I take back what I had said earlier..but I must note that this had been graded during the more recent and less-strict-on-vintage "BVG /subs on front" period , and not by the old curmudgeonly "BGS" standards used until 2002..those days were absolutely brutal....

OT: I have an SGC card graded a 5 and I'm wondering if there's a way to see what the sub-grades are on their site. The corners are sharp as heck, so I imagine the fact it is way o/c is the reason for the grade. Is that info available there?

News from yesterday's CLCT report. PSA is absolutely crushing it.


Our cards and autograph service revenues increased by $0.9 million, in the
fourth quarter and by $3.1 million, in fiscal 2018 which represented increases
of 18% in both periods and record quarterly and annual revenues for that
business.

Yes and the stock had a nice bounce off it's 52 week low; now only half of its 52 week high.

Coin business still very weak in the report.

Hadn't looked in a long time...what happened back in Feb to cause the nosedive?

I was briefly into coins after inheriting my father's set. One thing that really stings is coins & paper money are excluded from ebay's rather generous promo codes that appear from time to time
