From the thread about Dr. Bond, I looked at that item and then at all the items he/she/it has for sale. There were a few T206's that had been graded by BCCG. They were graded BCCG5, and, while they did have a descriptor on the top of the card as 'poor or better', that's still deceiving. Beckett should ONLY allow prewar stuff to be graded by BVG but they are seeking the almighty slab dollar and putting a '5' on something that, at best, would have gotten a '2' or 30 from SGC. AT BEST. Anyway, another of the 'legit' grading companies that's dropped any pretense of standards out there. The BCCG name was basically created I believe for all the shop-at-home scams and for Beckett to be able to sell crap on their website for ridiculous prices--given that it was BCCG10--which is basically similar to an EXMT/NRMT card. Anyway, just burned me a little on those T206's......comments?
