I see absolutely no benefit to Beckett if they were to buy Global. |

Why buy Global? What can Beckett gain from that? Beckett is already doing well and increasing in popularity. I like your idea David as it would explain a few things but I don't see a reason to "buy" Global. Then again, I am borderline business illiterate! |

Why does any business buy another business? To expand, and to remove some of the competition. GAI could not compete with PSA's and SGC's market share, and Beckett was far behind the three. Maybe that will now change. |

It is just a thought that occurred to me on the other thread concerning JSA. GAI has large slab technology, Beckett is associating with JSA because he likes their newfound ability to produce large slabs so it got me thinking. No idea if it's true or not but companies buy other companies all the time for their technology or to eliminate a competitor. Microsoft is a perfect example of this startegy. |

That makes sense Barry and dave, I just figured GAI was sinking and Beckett rising so why the need to buy at that point? Let the ship sink and you lose a competitor and keep your coinage. As far as the technology, aside from pack grading, I don't see what GAI could have that Beckett doesn't. Dan. |

But GAI has a vintage card customer base, where Beckett is more post-war. So it could be a good match. |
