If people can't be bothered to read the words on the flip, that sounds like their problem, not BCCG. And the link you posted only shows that I would be disappointed getting a card graded by BCCG, not that they're scammers.

Agree technically that they are not scammers. But it is a very odd practice and overall business model. Unethical? No. Extremely frustrating? Yes.

The BCCG model is absolutely a play to the low information/less experienced collector. It is a means of getting poor condition cards into the hands of collectors who will think they have a a high quality card when they do not. It is also a tool for predatory sellers masking junk as high quality.
It is not illegal and does not impact me but they are attempting to take advantage of those who are uninformed. |

Adam (Exhibitman) noted the exact reason for BCCG. Without going into gruesome detail, BCCG was a great and terrible decision for BGS at the same time.

really glad I asked the question as an extreme novice. Was hoping not to get beat like a red headed step child, should I venture out of my comfort zone. Thanks again guys.

So is SGC being deceptive by going to the "standard" 10 point scale, except for having an SGC 10 be both Gem Mint *and* Pristine? And creating a new grade of 9.5 Mint+ that no other grading company has?
Why muddy the waters even further? https://www.comc.com/Cards/MultiSpor...424/Graded/SGC 1992 Classic Four Sport Draft Pick Collection - [Base] #231 - Derek Jeter [SGC*100*PRISTINE] Courtesy of COMC.com 1992 Classic Four Sport Draft Pick Collection - [Base] #231 - Derek Jeter [SGC*98*GEM*10] Courtesy of COMC.com 1992 Classic Four Sport Draft Pick Collection - [Base] #231 - Derek Jeter [SGC*9.5*Mint+] Courtesy of COMC.com 1992 Classic Four Sport Draft Pick Collection - [Base] #231 - Derek Jeter [SGC*96*MINT*9] Courtesy of COMC.com
