warshawlawthat's why your cards are harshly graded by GAI
One more gripe about GAI: as I get older I find their flips harder to read under some lights. Black on silver was a neat idea but isn't very practical. And their print is too darned small.
Beckett: Most of you remember that Beckett started out as the most brutally undergrading service anyone had ever seen. I think it was BGS. So many collectors and dealers complained that they started BVG to pull things into line with the industry. They then started another label that they used for the shiny crap sold on tv (I think it was BCCG or something like that), which cost them what cred they had with serious collectors.
