Absolutely. Couldn't agree more. I don't know the background on the folks that Jim Beckett sold out to, but they've managed to all but ruin his name in the modern hobby. You would think for a business like grading cards, that would be pretty difficult to do. Sadly they are not "the most trusted name in the hobby" anymore, and besides modern inserts and auto's, I don't know much about BGS. BVG cards carry much less of a premium for vintage - and while I have gotten some deals on mid-grade because of this - it's nothing special. Not a very impressive follow-up to the Beckett dominance of the hobby in the 1980's and early 90's. :-(
