Beckett
Wow,
I disputed the charge made to Beckett for authentication only of my Fro Joy Premium and just learned they will not be crediting my account, citing services were rendered. Beckett did indeed render apathetic services. Beckett lackadaisically rendered an incorrect opinion, threatening a seller's reputation and an important collectible in the process. Beckett's reputation remains the same, bottom of the pack.
Owner of Robert Edward Auctions, Robert Lifson, has handled these Fro Joy premiums in the past. His opinion was that mine is authentic.
Howard owns a full size premium, and compared mine to his in person, concluding mine is authentic.
Based on data from the Beckett web site, they've never handled one. It seems they measured the card and rendered a decision, collecting nearly $50.00 in the process. I'm disgusted. They'll holder a strip card or a T206 that has been cut in half, won't they?
Their population report for Fro Joy premiums remains 0, but at least they now know what a premium should look like.
Howard, thank you again for comparing and photographing my trimmed Fro Joy premium next to your full size premium.
