Posted By: <b>Frank</b><p>Straight from Beckett's Website:<br><br>&quot;BCCG-graded cards (Beckett Collectors Club Grading) are completely separate and vastly different from the premium BGS- or BVG-graded cards. We can assure you that the same consummate care in handling is followed and consistent industry-leading quality of grading is applied to each and every card. As a result, BCCG-graded cards provide an eye-catching secondary market alternative to other graded card products, reaching a wider audience of fans and collectors. It features a modified numerical grading scale, with each level representing a range of standard conditions (Mint or better, Near mint or better, Excellent or better, etc.). <br>Furthermore, BCCG-graded cards are perfect for beginning or veteran collectors. Cards of a wide variety of star players are available in BCCG slabs. BCCG-graded cards are a perfect fit for the new collector who wants to be sure he's getting an excellent product from a trusted hobby source.&quot;<br><br>The grading of Good or better looks to be correct for the card listed.<br><br>r/<br>Frank<br><br>

Posted By: <b>Paul</b><p>Thanks. I should have checked the website. I agree the grade is right. I was just surprised that 6 corresponded to &quot;good or better,&quot; but that's what the website says.

Posted By: <b>Frank</b><p>Yes it is strange that a grade of &quot;Good or Better&quot; equates to a 6, but apparently that is their grading scale. I have never purchased anything in a BCCG holder, so at first glance, it does appear to be out of place. Speaking of grading, I just found out that a GAI 2 equates to an SGC &quot;A&quot; due to trimming, as I was just the recipient of that on a T205 Ty Cobb. <br><br>r/<br>Frank

Posted By: <b>J.McMurry</b><p>I could be wrong, but I was under the impression that BCCG was created for &quot;Home Shopping Network&quot; type outlets.
