Good call Dan. Most early cards graded by Beckett either come back altered or fake.

At that price he is in no danger of selling it anyhow.

What does this mean? That Beckett makes a mistake, or that it's easy to crack the Beckett slabs open and thus insert a fake or altered card? Or does it mean it's a fake slab altogether?

First of all if anyone wants to make a comment like that then they will have their name put out here. Secondly it means that Beckett probably made a mistake on this one. At least that is the way it looks to me too. As for their holders, they are almost impossible to crack so cracking and putting another card in is unlikely.

I think he was just trying to say that the folks at Beckett specialize in post war cards 1948 to date and are not quite as well versed as the other 2 major grading companies in the pre WWII arena.
