Beckett Grading
I always stick to PSA and/or SGC but on occasion a card I want is in a Beckett Holder ... Now I have been around the block a few times ... I bought a 1951 Mays Bowman (ex) and a 1920 Ruth W522 (vg) .... based on my eye - both cards are graded spot on, in fact my Mays card could have been a ex+ ... As far as the strip card - it measures up and has very nice borders. Because it WAS in a Beckett Holder, I was able to bargain down the price a bit ... Therefore I am of the opinion that you use your experience and not who graded it - to a point. Beyond PSA and SGC and then to Beckett there is no other grading company that I would buy unless I was able to inspect the card. All other holders I treat as if I am buying a raw card ... Anyone have an exception to the big 2 and then Beckett as a #3
