$30 with a 4-5 month turn time and no sub grades.

Wow! What a bargain!

It actually is a bargain because there are no declared value tiers at Beckett. You could send a T206 Honus Wagner under this Standard tier and pay just $30 to grade it. This would cost you $10,000 at PSA and $3750 from SGC. Of course, you'd still need to wait 4-5 months to get your card back.

And that is exactly the way it should be, so the "opinion" one gets on their card is not given with any bias or contingent costs associated with it. It also denotes that a TPG charges the same for each card because they submit each card to the exact same, consistent review and grading process, which again, is exactly how it should be.
