For those that don't know, this card trades around $500K and there are 99 copies of it. So Beckett confirming a BGS 9 for a card that can be proven to be altered is mind-blowing. But this is actually the second time they've done it on this same card. #25 was also "reviewed" by Beckett and they again deemed it unaltered despite photographic and language from the original owner that it was damaged. It originally graded a BGS 8 twice, then trimmed, then graded a 9.5 and "confirmed" 9.5 despite proof of alterations.

Scroll all the way to the end of this very long thread to read that story. It's like PSA with the NM-MT hand cut T206 Wagner.
