You are correct. There are 3 distinct services available from Beckett.
BGS - Beckett's Grading Service
BVG - Beckett's Vintage Grading
BCCG - Beckett's Collector's Club Grading
BCCG does NOT use the standard 1 - 10 grading range. Their grades are 5 - 10 only, with BCCG 5 being "Poor or Better."
It's a dumb idea, but apparently makes them money and they don't seem inclined to change it.
We have rehashed it out here many times.
