BCCG stands behind their product just as any other Beckett product. The grading scale, which has been discussed to death, probably should have been the same as their other ones. Point well taken. There is no more chance of there being a fake or altered one in a BCCG holder as any other holder from my experiences. Personally, I put BVG very close to equal with SGC, in terms of reliability. Let me say it again, I agree with everyone that their BCCG scale should have been the same as their other ones.

To answer another question, I don't know if the same graders grade BCCG as the other Beckett entities. I do know that ALL of what we care about, pre-war, is graded by a few of their most experienced graders. I have the utmost respect for them. As a matter of fact, if you ask some other industry graders in person, they will tell you the same thing. I know because I have had a many a discussions with them.
Leon,

Thanks for the kind words about the BVG vintage graders. I have over 200 of their graded T206s, which is about 3% of their total graded output. No one can make that claim for PSA or SGC. I also also have SGC and PSA cards, like everyone else here, but I was beginning to question the wisdom of my BVG investment. Because they are not sought after by many, I feel that I have gotten better deals on many of them. Buy the card, not the holder. Of course I haven't tried to sell any yet and until now I have never cracked a slab. I do not own any BCCG cards. I do not understand why they exist.
