Default VERY High End Card in Beckett Holder - Thoughts

I have the opportunity to buy a beautiful high end card that I've always wanted but couldn't afford. It's sitting in a Beckett 8.5 holder. Looks to be legit. Centered perfect... and selling for about 1/3 of what I's have to pay for a comparable PSA. Any advice?

If you’re an investor buying an investment slab instead of a card, don’t do it.

If you’re a collector buying a card, congrats on the bargain, lock it in.

Sounds like a no-brainer...buy it now. That would be my move, anyway. Especially if you've seen good images of it and are completely satisfied with what you see.

If you want a card, you might not get a deal. If you want a deal, you might not get a card.

The only thing that Beckett does that other TPGs don't do is they will grade sheet-cut/hand-cut cards that could normally be obtained with a factory cut. I see that somewhat regularly with O-Pee-Chee hockey cards.

Has Beckett fallen THAT far?

PSA grades the 84 Nestles cards that were only issued in full sheets.
Probably plenty of others too.

Yeah, that’s not what I’m saying. I’m saying PSA won’t grade (numerically) cards that were hand cut from full sheets IF those cards could be obtained as singles cut from the factory.

Bingo.

Also, to the OP…buy it and just regrade if you don’t like Beckett. Regardless of rumor I see no proof that Beckett misses anything more than PSA or SGC, it seems like a brand homer belief. The only concern is the sheet cut, which is factual. As you have not given the card set, it’s impossible to say if that would even apply

Agree with Justin on all counts. I have crossed several cards from BVG to PSA and had better than anticipated results.
