I have the opportunity to buy a beautiful high end card that I've always wanted but couldn't afford. It's sitting in a Beckett 8.5 holder. Looks to be legit. Centered perfect... and selling for about 1/3 of what I's have to pay for a comparable PSA. Any advice?

If you’re an investor buying an investment slab instead of a card, don’t do it.
If you’re a collector buying a card, congrats on the bargain, lock it in. |

Sounds like a no-brainer...buy it now. That would be my move, anyway. Especially if you've seen good images of it and are completely satisfied with what you see.

The only thing that Beckett does that other TPGs don't do is they will grade sheet-cut/hand-cut cards that could normally be obtained with a factory cut. I see that somewhat regularly with O-Pee-Chee hockey cards.

Yeah, that’s not what I’m saying. I’m saying PSA won’t grade (numerically) cards that were hand cut from full sheets IF those cards could be obtained as singles cut from the factory.
