This is my experience.

Bvg 4.5 1956 mantle freed sent to psa, didn't meet size requirements, sent to SGC, it's now a 3.5

Bvg 3 1951 mantle, sent to SGC in bvg slab, it's now a 2

Bvg 3 1949 Campanella, freed sent to SGC, it's now a 3.

Bvg 8 1980 Henderson, freed sent to sgc, it's now a 7.

BGS 8.5 fleer Gwynn, freed, it's now a sgc 9.

Have a 1961 Fleer Ted Williams bvg 6, I wouldn't think of sending to sgc.

My opinion is Beckett is gracious in the post war to 1980 era.

SGC will grade accordingly.
