Greg Lindberg, is ceo of Beckett Media (price guide) Beckett Grading a totally different company.. still owned by Dr James Beckett. Fraud guy has nothing to do with Beckett Grading, just the price guide company. They are 2 separate companies.
Dr Beckett sold Beckett (entire company) in 2005. That company owned it until 2008 which is when it was sold to the current holding company. The CEO of the holding company is who was found guilty of fraud.
A lot of CEOs that have more money than they will ever need always wants more and they will do anything to get it. It's a sickness. Thank you for the video Rudy.
I love the PSA glazing. How quickly we forget our orders that were given a month turnaround ended up taking over a year. How quickly we forget that after that year they then used those current prices of the market to then increase the fees to the consumer. Should have been straight illegal they should have been sued into the ground. But of course they're just the best right.
This reminds me of the time I found a black lotus on the sidewalk in the rain yes ohhh yes it was flattened on the pavement and many people stepped upon the poor little card. That my friends was my first Magic the Gathering card. lol
The fact ive seen people cracking already graded slabs here on YT and the internet, and resubmitting them for higher grades, is enough to show how bullshit the grading process is. Thats my two cents.. It definitely makes me want to reconsider paying for grading.
I’m surprised you didn’t mention Southern Hobby Distributors. One of the major Magic/Pokemon distributors in the country that is also owned by the same parent company.
I’m hardly a Rudy shill, but PCG provides an excellent service these days. The quality and consistency of their grading is probably the best in the market, and the slabs are just awesome.
European here. PCG seems to be the best option for somebody who wants to grade and not go through the hassles of customs, international shipping and so on. Customer service is also great and direct to the point in their communication, which I appreciate. Grading is ok, but I never graded with other companies so I have no comparison metric to judge with. Only negative side that I found is that they are slower than they declare, probably because more people than they thought are grading here in Europe too. I submitted 10 cards beginning of November (05.11+2days for shipping) and only this Wednesday (27.11) moved from “Received” to “Grading”. On their website they declare 28 business days turnaround time, which is not the case. Anyway, I’d rather wait longer and have my cards graded properly than a poor job just to get them back sooner. So far they have a regular customer.
Thanks for the breakdown! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?
The retro gaming market had this happen to it too. First coins, then Vidya games, now cards. Grading seems to be a literal system for corporations to game these systems.
Just had a look at PCG and its basically BGS with different label. Same grading standards which is going be crucial imo for the future. PSA 10 for new TCG's is basically a raw copy these days. If your going to use PSA for anything thats not Pokemon, then you should just keep it raw. I use BGS for One Piece cause if it's a 10 then it's a 10 and you can see it. If its a PSA 10 then you are going to want check the card out cause there's probably defects as i have experienced with my PSA 10 Manga's i brought (so sad. I could have just brought raw copies in better condition). Anyway I'll probably move over to PCG if BGS goes downhill. Standards are just higher
Only the best of the best is sent to Beckett. That’s why you’re seeing low numbers. They grade way harder than competitors which is leading to less people really want to risk sending cards to them.
@jonniefast nah lol I got nice ringless binders. Something more magical about being able to hold the card and appreciate it or play with it. Or sit in a closet for years... lol.
Oh, we’re prosecuting crimes now….back in my day, a man could run an underground moonshine and roulette hall out of his basement and live a good life. Smdh
All card grading is a scam, period. It's all perception based of possible percieved capitalization; i.e the card grading services or whatever are designed to only alter the PERCIEVED value of whatever they grade. Ok bro, idgaf that you got a Mana crypt graded by whoever at a 10 rating, it's still only worth $100 to me since it's a banned card, etc etc.
Find it really hard to respect you anymore since you've started PCG and have started plugging it every 2 seconds. PCG goes against everything this channel represents.
Card grading itself, is one of the biggest scams ever created. And all card graders should be brought up on charges for creating a phony economy of "graded" cards.
!I am at the beginning of my "investment journey", planning to put 185K into dividend stocks so that I will be making up to 30% per year in dividend returns. any good stock recommendation on great performing stocks or Crypto will be appreciated.
As a newbie investor, it’s essential for you to have a mentor to keep you accountable. Ruth Ann Tsakonas is my trade analyst, she has guided me to identify key market trends, pinpointed strategic entry points, and provided risk assessments, ensuring my trades decisions align with market dynamics for optimal returns.
I managed to grow a nest egg of around 120k to over a Million. I'm especially grateful to Adviser Ruth Ann Tsakonas, for her expertise and exposure to different areas of the market.
I don't really blame people who panic. Lack of information can be a big hurdle. I've been making more than $200k passively by just investing through an advisor, and I don't have to do much work.. Inflation or no inflation, my finances remain secure. So I really don't blame people who panic.
Without a doubt! Ruth Ann Tsakonas is a trader who goes above and beyond. she has an exceptional skill for analysing market movements and spotting profitable opportunities. Her strategies are meticulously crafted on thorough research and years of practical experience..
how would you recommend i enter the crypto market? I am also looking at studying some traders and copying their strategy rather than investing myself and losing money emotionally.. What's your take on this approach? and How can i reach her, if you don't mind me asking??
I love the answer to "Why do rich people commit fraud" being "they're Timmies"
Beckett ceo about to be grading Diddy's vinegar strokes
Here Diddy is running the prison which means there is fur on the walls.
@@shiftyjedi3417 Furry waaaaaalls, furry waaaaaalls!
😂😂😂
"When I was young, for the last 20 years." Yeah me too brother.

Beckett has been handing out Black Label 10 Grades to serialized LotR cards like it's candy...
You saw this coming and also say it on your video,you were 100% right
Rudy is guilty of needing a haircut
TOP
in terms of visual appeal, omg PSA slabs are heinous
beckett doesnt use paper labels anymore they switched to the metal ones a while ago
Rudy's one step closer to taking over TCG grading 😂
Strange you all these companies can straight up lie and get away with it.
A lot of CEOs that have more money than they will ever need always wants more and they will do anything to get it. It's a sickness. Thank you for the video Rudy.
Greed is a hell of a drug
I just come here for the, “Folks.”
Did anyone else love Beckett magazines back in the day?
Oh yes
I love the PSA glazing. How quickly we forget our orders that were given a month turnaround ended up taking over a year. How quickly we forget that after that year they then used those current prices of the market to then increase the fees to the consumer.
Should have been straight illegal they should have been sued into the ground.
But of course they're just the best right.
I agree upcharges should be illegal they never did it before now all of a sudden they want a piece
PSA sucks and their labels are ugly, don’t understand why people love them
psa has had timmy/haters since 2001 😂
wah wah wah
I rate today's folks a nice 7.2/10. It was very festive. The echo made it seem like Santa clause :)
Agree. It was a very inquisitive "folks."
I’d give it a solid 7 😂
Y’all too much. 😂
6/10 lack of energy but consistent with the great pitch
I saw Rudy kissing Santa Claus.
What I'm hearing is that there should be Black Friday specials on Beckett grading.
Thank God I just sent my cards in to PSA. Looks better with red cads anyway.
the fact PSA is selling and working with gamestop now will keep them ahead of the curve and get their numbers up a bit more IMO
Taco CEO Pleads Guilty of Fraud
Very exited to see you scale up your grading operations! Hopefully you can scoop in and steal some marketshare.
I am now a strong believer that Loot was made in the likenes of Rudy.
This reminds me of the time I found a black lotus on the sidewalk in the rain yes ohhh yes it was flattened on the pavement and many people stepped upon the poor little card. That my friends was my first Magic the Gathering card. lol

Well,this is interesting,thanks Rudy
I’m surprised you didn’t mention Southern Hobby Distributors. One of the major Magic/Pokemon distributors in the country that is also owned by the same parent company.
Comes for the Folks, stay for the haircut
So if I grade 50 GI Joe cards, do I get 2 boxes of Joe or pokemon cards with my slabs
1.5k views 36 minutes ago. If they had collected Booby Trap from Tempest none of this would've happened
When the CEO is a criminal you have to assume the rest of the company is as well.
Beckett grading and PSA were the top grading companies back in the day
DROP THE ELON MUSK VIDEO
its happening
the woke banlist is NULL!!!!
The bathroom got filled up so Rudy's got to make some space.
Private companies are trust worthy my butt
What? Fraud in baseball cards?? I'm shocked!
BGS labels are the dodgiest in the industry?? Look at PSA labels! They're far dodgier.

Return the slab!! Or suffer the curse

The funny thing is the guy that defrauded the coin grading system was the same guy that defrauded the video game one too, iirc.
@@pillsandangels What would that person's name be?
Guilty!

all new customers get a free pallet of metazoo
This isn't a CGC situation. Beckett will be fine.

Rudy has yet to plead guilty to getting my dad pregnant. The child is now 1 years old.
Dude, what about PSA! The worse overpriced inflated cheap plastic trash ever.
I would 1000% get 25 cards graded for a box of fallen empires. If you've got some stashed away, I'm stoked
Buuhh if I grade 300 cards of sorcery I get nothing. Where is the love 😔
Grading is dumb. I raw dog all my cards 🎉
so u ruining em? 😂
@jonniefast nah lol I got nice ringless binders. Something more magical about being able to hold the card and appreciate it or play with it. Or sit in a closet for years... lol.
It's much easier to grade cards than people.
I have a collection of Sports cards can i send those in to get graded and get a box of magic
Is this why folks selling so many bekets graded cards all of sudden?
Grading is a scam
Baiting in the comment section is mouth breather behavior 🖕🏻
yeah we dont need grading. we should just learn to trust the sellers word when they say their cards are mint w no print lines and perfect centering.
Rudy show us your old high school car
You want to touch our decks? Do you sleeve your deck?
Yea ok Rudy. Dammit, ill get my shit graded now.
RUDY WE KNOW YOUR NAME!!!
I for one like bgs labels
💗
I ❤ BGS. I hope it takes the price so I can buy more lol
BGS has new labels 😑
Elon is gonna buy Hasbro, maybe Beckett is next
Rudy can buy 69% of BGS
Oh, we’re prosecuting crimes now….back in my day, a man could run an underground moonshine and roulette hall out of his basement and live a good life. Smdh

Caught
You're defending this man like he hasn't defraud you or someone you know.
Never been a fan of grading for 90%+ of what's slabbed... Will send an order to Rudy at some point tho
Folks!
Find it really hard to respect you anymore since you've started PCG and have started plugging it every 2 seconds. PCG goes against everything this channel represents.
Do people want your opinion on this.... or is that standard reason for you to create content about your slab business?
If it was fraud involving the rating office, it would matter. As it sits, eh.
First 🎉
Lol big surprise 😢
Just buy rudy.
Sending my 25 numbered LotR MTG cards, to get a case of MTG LotR collectors Case
Click bait don't wacth
Beckett is on life support ever since 2022 📉📉📉
