Well, for the 3 or 4 people on this board who might care, I have an announcement regarding my change in the hobby. As of July 8th, I no longer work for Beckett in any capacity.
I spent the better part of 16+ years at Beckett: 1-1/2 in Pricing, followed by a move to become the first member of Grading in 1998 and, after building the BGS/BVG business, managing it as Director of Grading & Authentication through July of 2013.
I have now moved on to an ecommerce website known as COMC.com. I won't go into the details just yet as I'll make a separate announcement about that later, with Leon's permission. I was thrilled the move was just in time for me to not miss the National (official hire date July 29th!), and I can say it was the best National I've attended. It was a pleasure to work with some of my new coworkers, and I was overwhelmed by the sheer number of people who came to the COMC booth after asking for me at the Beckett booth first.
Again, I'll go into COMC and Vintage - and what plans I have for the two - in another post a little later on. But right now, I thank everyone for their support, and especially their love for our BCCG product (HA!), while I was at Beckett. If you need to get in touch with someone about BVG, I would suggest reaching out to Andy Broome, Sr. Vintage Grader, at
abroome@beckett.com.
Thank you all for everything, and I will be back soon!
