I agree on both counts.

Who in their right mind would mess with a 100 year old beautiful work of art?

Oh, several folks in this hobby I'm afraid if there's a buck to be made. Very sorry this happened to you.

I'm sorry about your experience, but this is another example of why I do not recognize Beckett as a grader.

I would of thought the "HONUS WAGNER" was the most expensive AUTHENTIC card!! Know what I mean?

So I have an odd question similar to why is it still shown as the no number if that's the alteration.


As a normal card - Shouldn't it get a 1 or 10? It's not much different from one with paperloss. Which it actually has. Of course there's some intent here, but looked at purely from a technical standpoint all paperloss should be treated the same right?

@Steve B - Yeah I think the distinction being that if someone purposely alters the card with the intention to deceive vs. normal wear and tear

@I Only Smoke 4 the Cards - yes I actually sent BVG their tag that came out of the holder with serial # but since I had broken the card out they could no longer verify it was the same card they put in. (which I understand)

if you knew it was altered wasn't that inappropriate to get BVG to put it back in a 4 holder?

That is a horrible story, and I am sorry you have not received justice.

Gorgeous card though, and I am sure it will look great in your collection.
