BCCG Strikes Again

On top of that, uninformed buyers think they are getting a legit BECKETT graded card. This is a name even casual collectors know. I'm sure there are people out there who think they're better off buying a BCCG 8 than a Pro 9 (maybe a poor example there, because that's probably true, but you get the point)

Also, one more point is that this does a disservice to the hobby as a whole. When new/young people getting into the hobby get burned by a bad deal like the Paige card or one of those 1994-1996 jeter "RCs" it turns people off to the hobby as a whole. It undermines the true grading services and leaves a bad taste in would-be collectors' mouths, keeping the hobby from growing and becoming more legitimate to the average person...

What this country needs is a good government-run, single-payer third party grading service like they have in Canada.
