Fred Y,

I don't think it will "harm" the relationship between Spence and Beckett. It just means Beckett will be seeing less income from autograph submissions.

Unless Spence owns a piece of Beckett do you really think that Spence is going to arbitrarily use Becket to slab the autographs he authenticates? It's in his better interest (his wallet's interest) to use the company that he just dropped a chunk of change on. Does this impact the relationship between Beckett and Spence? Of course not...
