maybe the answer is, developing a set minimum card value for grading and eliminate grading reprints. I see too many collectors (often novice) submitting cards worth less than $1 in value.

Seems like a great way to destroy the market base of player and set collectors.

The other grading companies seem able to find the right balance between the revenues they are taking in and having enough employees to grade the cards in a reasonably timely fashion. Not sure why Beckett can't manage the same.

There are plenty of cards that raw might sell for less than a buck that graded in a 10 can increase exponentially.

The other issue is a lot of collectors just like to see the card in a graded slab and if they are willing to shell out the grading fee the companies should gladly take it.

Telling customers they can't submit doesn't seem like a good solution to anything. If you're at that point might as well shutter the place.

Agreed...but not performing a service for a year is TOTALLY unacceptable. I can think of nothing else that you pay for and wait a year to receive service.

Maintaining your seat at most major NASCAR or Indy car races for the upcoming year REQUIRES that you pay for your seat essentially as soon as this year's race ends... and you get NOTHING for it, besides a seat and a ticket...

The Speedway at Indianapolis can hold upwards of 500,000 fannies at at least $100 per fanny...

Just saying that I would like a piece of that interest...

I think it�s ridiculous, too, although I can think of a number of examples of waiting for long periods (if not a year) with money locked in before something is done/happens. I have bought tickets for a concert 9 months away and put down a deposit for work on my house that was months out (with the deposit being many times more significant that what BGS would charge for grading). Hotel/camp/etc. reservations for events and dates that are in high demand routinely become available one year prior and people jump at the chance to take them as soon as they can.

If you provide something with a high demand, it seems people are more than willing to pay just to wait in line.
