Default Is Beckett (BGS) starting to gain respect in the pre-war community?

Posted By: James Gallo

I realize the holders are protecting the card, but they are just too damn big. If you put a t206 or e90 in one of those things there is like 2 inches or more of clear plastic all the way around. I haven't seen enough cards damaged by holders to say that the "protection" factor makes me want to change over.

I liked it more when the vintage service showed the sub grades but they don't do that anymore.

That being said with 1990s to current cards they are the strictest company and a BGS 10 will bring a premium over a PSA 10 or SGC 98.

I really don't like the big holders, or the baggies.

I think the sub grades are nice and the holders are solid.

I think beckett is a solid 3 but I don't think they can get much market share in the pre-war world unless PSA goes under.

Looking for 1915 Cracker Jacks and 1909-11 American Caramel E90-1.
