Imo, many unsuspecting buyers will see 6's and think of PSA 6's and pay accordingly.

Sellers, not the good ones, will be grinning from ear to ear.

Chance the word unsuspecting to stupid and I 100% agree. Seriously how hard is it to look up the BCCG grading scale or even read the flip. It says 6 GOOD it does not say 6 EX-MT.

For people that actually want to safely store their cards in a very secure slab at a very cheap price they can't be beat. Yes some people use them to screw people but if you want to talk screwing people we should be talking PSA.

EDIT: Ok maybe trying to quit smoking for the millionth time is making me a little rude. Maybe change uninformed to too lazy to do research.

I hear what you are saying, Ben, but this act is purely deceptive, nothing less, and Beckett knows it.

whenever I accidentally (through a collection or some big purchase) acquire these turkeys I always include an explanation that the grading system is entirely different in my listings.

You are one of the good ones, Scott. This seller just lists his as a 7 and nothing that explains the reason for the grade. Like I said above, some sellers are going to love this new grading system.

Glad to see it hasn't received any bids towards his asking (It's not a $32.00 dollar card) so maybe more than I think are wise to this?
