I'm happy to have recently added this vintage signed 1933 Goudey card of HOF no-hit pitcher Ted Lyons.

Wow! A Signed Starffin card? I've never seen one before. Great piece

I picked up 3 Sraffins over the past 2 months. I've only seen 4 in my life. Would trade one but would take something I really need

What do you guys think of the new Beckett Auto slab? This is purely a question of interest.

Personally, I think the product with the new auto authenticators is top notch. The label designs I am not a big fan of.

And to make it clear, this is literally my work background for over 20 years. I worked for Beckett/BGS (as Director) from 1997 until 2013.

From 2015 until cancer crushed me this year, I was "secretly" building a launch of JSA authenticated autographed cards. I was supposed to go to New Jersey to test everything in February, but was hospitalized January 31st with this *surprise*, and physically/mentally not even able to tell Jimmy what was happening. Frankly, most employers would be furious, but I want to publicly say that JSA has treated me so amazingly well and I thank them immensely.

I am incredibly saddened that the entire new business model had to be moved under another employee and re-start do three weeks before launch. I pray they can get it running any day now, even better than I had planned.

mark--i've always been a fan of the beckett holder, with the insert sleeve so the card don't move. however they're phasing out that sleeve, which i'm not a fan of.

and if the below is what the jsa holder will be, then i'm also not a fan. first of all the whole point of slabbing is eliminating the sticker on card part, which i'm not sure from the poor photo below but i still see the sticker....even if it's outside of the slab it still looks very unprofessional.
