Beckett BVG Grading

[Archive]

Posted By: Ron Diamond

I showed my wife two cards SCD just gave me 1.5(20) grades...we were married when I took up the hobby again over 20 years ago...so she has seen the hobby change over time, along side me at shows, through ebay auctions and 1000's of cards showing up at my home. I only collect pre 1961 cards(though 80% are pre 1935). Even she was shocked at the reckless, misgrading of the cards, or, perhaps I should say their cavalliere changing of grading as is recognized in our hobby. I can't send you images(which I would like to do...but I'm not computer literate and don't see how to). MY cards are not 1.5. I have a number of the hightest graded sets registered at PSA and SGC...crummy cards are not what I purchase(this year I spent over $90,000 on cards). I assure you SGC doesn't even sound professional when you call and talk to them...sounds like some kids playing 'grown up'. PSA is still superior to SGC.
