Grading question

[glchen]

Here's another card that neither PSA nor SGC would encapsulate due to the damaged paper stock. However, Beckett had no problems. Note that SGC stated the card might blow up if encapsulated.

All in all, the point is Beckett is usually able to encapsulate the most cards regardless of condition. SGC is next most capable, and PSA is last in that they reject the most cards due to fragility concerns.

Wow, the card might blow up had me laughing. I can't believe they wrote that. But, hey what do I know. I like Beckett, but as people said they primarily do modern cards and do a great job with that. I personally like the subgrades and wish they would do that with BVG as well. I believe they use to but then went to just the overall grade.
