Default Beckett is the most strict and reputable!

Main problem you've got here is that Beckett has zero rep and zero acclaim in the vintage arena. If anything, their idiotic BVG scam bas completely blown any future cred that they might seek to develop. Also, their cards look SH!**Y in the plastic sleeve inside the plastic holder. Put one next to an SGC or GAI card and there is simply no presentation comparison.

Barry Bonds is a great player who cannot be ignored. His cards are a waste of time. The principal difference between you modern "collectors" and the vintage collectors on this board is that we buy the card, you buy the slab. I mean, come on, is there any real difference between a 9 and and 10? Not so as anyone who isn't selling the 10 would notice. You cannot analogize Barry Bonds cards to Pre WWII cards. As far as "potential" for his cards go, I see nothing but foolishness in assessing the "potential" of his cards. Like a game of musical chairs, whoever has the 10 when the music stops is gonna get screwed. Do yourself and your family a favor, buy a nice 8 of his cards instead of a 10 and put the extra $$ into some solid vintage cards that will actually hold their value.
