Random number grading??

This is not true, they grade cards on a much different scale.

Really? Maybe it is just from my experience with vintage in BCCG. Regardless, I find their gradings to be head-scratchers most of the time.

This card is graded a 6 good that is equal to a BVG 2 Good. The thing is BCCG cards are graded on a 5-10 scale and not the normal 1-10 scale and that does confuse some. I know when it first come out it confused me till I looked up the weird scale BCCG uses.

I was somewhat of a fan of Beckett before they took this route.

Imo, many unsuspecting buyers will see 6's and think of PSA 6's and pay accordingly.

Sellers, not the good ones, will be grinning from ear to ear.

Chance the word unsuspecting to stupid and I 100% agree. Seriously how hard is it to look up the BCCG grading scale or even read the flip. It says 6 GOOD it does not say 6 EX-MT.

For people that actually want to safely store their cards in a very secure slab at a very cheap price they can't be beat. Yes some people use them to screw people but if you want to talk screwing people we should be talking PSA.

EDIT: Ok maybe trying to quit smoking for the millionth time is making me a little rude. Maybe change uninformed to too lazy to do research.
