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

well, seems to me this post is an advert for Beckett, all thats missing are the monthly specials for pre war grading specials. i liked beckett, i like the holders with the gold labels and the baggy does not bother me. however, i Hate the fact they are auctioning their own graded cards. i dont care if they are consignments, how do we know they arent the cards of the management or a collection someone in the company found? as they send more cards to market, i am seeing some overgrading when it comes to corners and stains. anybody that collects cards for registry sets will be busting the beckett holder anyway for crossover. imo, if psa feels they are starting to make an impact on their business they will not cross cards over to equal grades if still in the holders, especially high grade stuff. i would bid on beckett cards if i thought i could get them cheaper than sgc/psa counterpart, i would not send any in for grading. i am only referring to older cards not modern stuff.
