I feel like PSA has shown the market just how valuable and what a decent ROI they get per graded card. If we assume PSA makes…. $10 pure profit on every graded card (whether a $15 submission or a $5,000 level), if they’re grading 13M cards in a year, that’s $130M in pure profit right there ! Every year ! So now, let’s look over to Beckett. If they can get the machine cranked up to…… 100k cards a month, 1.2M cards a year, that’s a nice $12M in profit, which can be useful in the broader Collectivus portfolio. If PSA can invest in itself and now be a ‘Million slabs per month’ grader, why couldn’t Beckett learn from this example, get efficient themselves and make some good money as well ?
On a side note, and hindsight is 20/20, but I think Beckett should have just went ahead and made the change to their gem grades to make it make more sense and just dealt with the inevitable backlash from it. It would have disrupted the past, but the future might have looked a little brighter. It's tough seeing them fall in the grading rankings with PSA, SGC, and even CGC. I guess I just kind of miss their relevance in the hobby. Their Gem Mint 9.5/9.5/9.5/9.0 grades are pretty much already ruined just with the notion at this point anyway.
Beckett is actually awesome just a victim of the social media/influencer paradigm shift to PSA...they have a larger wallet for market penetration plain and simple.
Two separate comments here: First, I think dealers and auction houses should not bring these high end cards with them and just use high end photos to make a deal. Secondly, Beckett needs to go back to it's roots, get out of grading and simply become a legitimate hobby news source both online and print. I don't think Fanatics should get involved at all, and they're Bowman in the making with too many fingers in the pie, they might need to start selling off.

Isn't 4 yrs, really like 6 months with good behavior. The justice system isn't really just.

The bounce back year of BGS-2025??
Despite its struggles, BGS still holds the rarest, most desired cards seen in auctions in thier slabs.
FACTS…. Also, everyone clamoring for the graders notes or why, welcome to sub grades. Been around bout 25 years now….
What are you in for? Reply, Stole baseball cards. 😆 🤣 😂

Agree with you
Wow.. you don't get 4 years here in Canada for manslaughter! He'd probably get an apology and the judge would call the cops racist :/

Beckett Media still does a nice job with new product checklists
Good points. Though Beckett (BGS) has been grading around, for like 25 years. Not much after SGC.
7 minute video....5 minutes of it talking about sponsors
50 seconds of sponsor talk.
