YOU:
This is exactly the point that my brother is trying to make, you once again bring up prices realized and how tough Beckett is supposed to be on grading, yet it means nothing to us here becuase there are not grading much in teh way of vintage cards.

ME:
So? I understand that...nothing there to argue about. I NEVER debated that statement.

YOU:
One of the few vintage cards that we have seen graded by Beckett happens to be a rebacked card that is known within hobby cirles. They may be a 'strict' grader by your standards, but if they can't identify altered vintage card, what makes you think they can identify a fake or altered modern card?

ME:
I am sure PSA has improperly graded MANY cards over the years especially in their infancy years. I am also convinced that both companies weed out 99% of the counterfeits, trimmed and altered cards.

ANOTHER THING A LOT OF PEOPLE HERE AREN'T TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION ARE THE AMOUNT OF "NEWLY" GRADED CARDS. THEY THINK THAT BECKETT DOESN'T HAVE ANY MARKET SHARE becasue they don't see a lot of them on the market, but if PSA started using a new holder, how many new cards would you see? The amount of newly graded GAI cards seem to high to NOT believe that PSA cards are being re-slabbed.
