JSA ? SGC Split

Wow, I sent a card to JSA (to have SGC slab it) Priority mail w/delivery confirmation and it was kicked around for a week. I called SGC cutomer service because it was delivered to Parsippany NJ instead of Pa. I was told JSA moved and no longer would be working with SGC. Bummer.

It seems he is now working with Beckett Grading instead of SGC. Seems like a step backwards if you ask me.

David - maybe Beckett offered him more $?

I called JSA yesterday after noticing the link to the autograph submission form was not working. I was told they went with Beckett because of their bigger name and ability to encapsulate 8 X 10's. She also explained that SGC was a great company but they wanted to expand.

Edited for spelling.

Aaron:

If Beckett has the ability to encapsulate 8 X 10 photos, does that mean that they then have a larger-size holder that can encapsulate oversized "cards" as well?

Phil,

Not sure, but it would make sense that they would be able to encapsulate the oversized cards as well.

Beckett is stepping up in visibility it looks like. They are slabbing all of the Topps File copy cards from what I saw on the Topps site the other day. That's a big project. Maybe Beckett is buying Global?

James Spence is a great guy and I am sure he had his reasons; SGC autographs were not getting as much attention vs. a regular JSA autograph

will be interesting to see how this works out
