Beckett's has more conflicts than you can shake a stick at. They grade cards (with competing companies, BGS, BVGS and BCCG) using differing grading scales. They sell, for profit, price guides, both for raw and graded cards. AND... They auction off cards on Ebay, for a percentage of the take (both cards they have graded and others.)
If you're looking for people as pure as the driven snow, good luck!
