SGC versus PSA slabs

[Frank A]

Here's my thoughts on grading. The new company in town will be Beckett!!! No, I don't grade with Beckett, but I see the hand writing on the wall. Prices of Beckett cards are on the rise and quite often in line with PSA and SGC. Why? In the early 90's when all the shiney stuff came out all the new collectors went to Beckett. Now these collectors are much older and going back in time with their collections. Guess what? Most will stay with Beckett as they have been in the past. I'm an old man and won't be switching graders, but I see Beckett as the #1 grader in the future.

PSA IMO will always be on top in regards to pre 80’s cardboard. Show after show people give me the ah it’s a shame it’s in a SGC holder I only do PSA. Can you try and cross it. No buy the card not the holder. My response. People are brainwashed by PSA. For as much as they Bi$ch and Complain about their service I don’t see things changing anytime soon. Check there lines at the National.

Funny post.

I feel Beckett is on the level of PSA when it comes to the modern market, in part because of their transparency surrounding the 4 sub-grades. I’m not sure why they stopped doing this for vintage, but it would seem to be a reasonable way to distinguish their product from that of the competitoon.
