BCCG Strikes Again

[Ease]

I agree there's plenty of blame to go around, but the buyer (if legit) has to absorb most of it. Beckett only provides the bccg service, it's up to unscrupulous dealers to pull something like this. I'm no beckett fanboy nor do I agree with what the seller did, but I do not think any informed collector doesn't know that bccg's grading system is bogus. It is up to the buyers out there to stay away from items like this, if a seller can slap a pos in a bccg holder and make money, it makes fiscal sense (obviously morally wrong) to do it, and they will continue until buyers are informed and stay away. Crazy...
1. Buyer
2. Seller
3. Beckett

I blame all three. The Beckett slab is completely misleading because a 6 connotes a high grade. The only protection the buyer has is a good clear picture of the front and back, since it is the back that cost the card its grading points. So of course the seller omits a scan of the back. I blame:

1) Beckett for having a misleading grade;
2) The seller for omitting a scan of the back;
3) The buyer (if there was one) for showing very poor judgment in spending so much money for it.

Let's call it a three way tie.

From the front scan the card actually looks like an EXMT card. The buyer was totally misled in this case, I blame Beckett and the seller far more than the buyer.

Unless you enjoy wasting money, wouldn't you request a scan of the back? Maybe the gov. bought it.

IMO the seller never would have selected BCCG to "grade" the card if the intent was to not have the card appear to be favorably graded with a big "6" and small Good or Better. Secondly the seller choose not to include a back scan, we know he had one because Matt pulled it from the website. Lastly, yes anyone who is about to drop that kind of coin on a card should ask for a back scan. Heck maybe they did and bought it anyway but I doubt it. BOttom line for me, this is not a seller I would want to do business with but it might be a buyer i would, just kidding.
