Just to be clear, Beckett grades autographs, they do not authticate autographs. There is a big difference.

Do you mean that they will encapsulate forgeries and grade them?

To some extent, possibly. They rely on the card company to authenticate the autograph. They will simply grade an autograph. If the card company gets it wrong, so will they. Heck, see the card that started this thread. I am sorry to dig up old dirt, but I still have strong doubts about the Cartwright that was also part of the Sportking card that was advertised here earlier.

A wonderful system to be sure.
Relying on card companies to authenticate autographs. We know where that has gotten us in the past.
