Beckett Grading
Hello everyone, I'm curious your take - what's the knock on Beckett Grading on pre-war cards..? (BVG .. not BCCG).
I've heard most say they're not good for various reasons - lower standards, not experienced, inconsistent, not good with the pre-war (but better w/modern), etc. I have some T206 in BVG holders and have to admit they look pretty good for their grade. In fact a few I've submitted to SGC over the years for crossover have held the same grade or even bumped up 1/2 to 1. I just don't understand the hit on them and then see the ridiculous inconsistencies from PSA - especially on the pre-wars. 4's and 5's for cards with creases, paper-loss, chipped corners and edges, faded backs, etc. Thanks, as always, for your feedback.

I have bought several Beckett graded pre-war cards. Nary a one do I consider overgraded.

I second Jeff's opinion, BVG is very accurate with their vintage card grading.

Hey, Ed! I have no issues with their grading, I just can't get over those tank like holders. Not a big fan of the holder or the flip at all.

I agree with Phil & Gary. I have purchase (not submitted) a number of Beckett graded cards. Although not my preference, I definitely did not find them over graded.

my 1/2 cent
They are an advertiser here and I consider them friends too, but I don't mind saying it again as it's true. BVG grades very well and quite conservatively. I have never had an issue with any of their grades and have always felt they were fair, if not conservative (as mentioned). Some of the best graders in the hobby imho....

Ditto. And the inner sleeve makes it very difficult to get a scan without 'hot spots' all over it.

Always consistent and pleased with their customer service.
However, the *armadillo holder and their mind altering BCCG division needs to go. *If the translucent baggie were a clear half-baggie, like PSAs, that would be a vast improvement. |

That being said, having BCCG associated in anyway with BVG seems to keep them just below the big two.

The BVG graded T206's that I have seem to be graded right on the money. Unfortunatley, I can't say the same about the T206's I have that have been graded by PSA........
I also wish they would do away with BCCG. 1.SGC 2.BVG 3.PSA (IMO) Clayton |
