BCCG Strikes Again

In my mind BCCG = PRO. Both are equally deceptive.

Seriously Rick, you don't get it? Why don't you pose this question to every grading company? They all have different tiers (costs) and it has to do with liability, I believe, as well as the quickness of grading the submission. Also, and this is just a guess, but it probably takes more experience (paying someone with more experience) to grade the nuances of a 100 yr old card vs a 100 day old card. This is a poor analogy but why would a brain surgeon cost more than a general practitioner, on an hourly basis? Probably experience and liability. There is no doubt that every grading company has people that won't use them and Beckett is no different. Do I wish they would have used a different scale, sure I guess.....but then again I have been known to read what is on the label so I guess it just doesn't matter that much to me. It's America folks. Do what you want to....but I do trust BVG a lot with their grading. So far they have never failed me yet, though I haven't submitted as much to them as I have SGC....best regards
