Order is cruising through.... 4 of the 5 cards the grades are bang on as expected. 5th one I have no idea WTF I missed. Got hammered on centering again, as usual.

Also of note, Beckett emailed me at every step. Pretty sure that's new, so nice to see consistent updates.

So this order took 4 business days (maybe 5, if Good Friday isn't a holiday in the USA, I dunno) from delivery by USPS to shipped back to me. Crazy fast.

And I received an email at every stage. Amazing.

MAYBE Beckett is actually changing/improving things. I really hope so.

Anyone know who to contact to see what is going on?? 20day turn into almost 3 months now lol

Guess it really wasn't a big deal since nobody has talked about BGS making another attempt at a splash announcement lol. They're lowering their prices by 10% and promising quicker turnaround times. Think they will need to lower their prices another 10-15% to recapture market share while keeping their promise to shorten turnaround times.

Their cheapest pricing appears to be the same as it has been? $15 without subs or $18 with, same pricing as their collectors special tier which they’ve now removed from their site.

Ah...they're doing a bit of slight of hand with their pricing...too bad...thought they were really trying to make some impactful changes.

I think shortening their turnaround times would be a huge first step. the anecdotal evidence shared here seems to point to the times shrinking.

can someone explain the "slight of hand" in the changes of the pricing structure?

They said they lowered all prices by at least 10% but all they did with base is remove Collectors Special which was priced at the new Base price. Well they actually lowered price by 5 cents

That needs to go in the "USPS" tracker thread haha.

Sucks, but obviously those days don't really count. Hell, its takes us like 1-2 weeks to get from Canada to Beckett or PSA.

Officially over 45 days on my BAS order from early February and still waiting. A bit disappointing after seeing others submit later than me for their special and got theirs back awhile ago.

You should be close.

My BAS orders are always around 2 months with Beckett. Usually tracks around 40-50 business days.

[Gkozsportscards]

my last BAS took about 3 months, which was on the long side. Usually 1-3 months but never more.

[justrun7]

My last BGS order was 6 weeks, received in mid January and returned end of February, so about 6 weeks. That’s why I’m disappointed because this was a smaller order and taking longer. They don’t seem to have consistency at BAS.

Never grading with them again. Flawless card, passed eBay authenticity. Should of sent to PSA because all of them so far graded are PSA 10, I love the look of the case but no more. Cracking it out and sit in my collection forever.

Please share more details if you don't mind. I'd love to see high res raw images and then your slab images. If BGS f'd you on your grade I am very interested to see it, since I have some PC cards that I would rather just leave raw if they're not giving out accurate grades. The worst thing I can do is PAY someone to give me bogus grades, and end up cracking out the card in the end. Complete and total waste of money.

9. Out of 4 cards graded in that set, 4 got BGS 9.5 except mine which is why I got robbed. Surface 9 and Edge 9 is totally a judgement call. I went through 2 lightings to check the card, I saw no lines and no edge issues like UD Young Guns. I don't send cards to be PSA 9, it has to be 10 to be sent. I know they graded that subjectively, not objectively due to market conditions of the card. That card is sort of like 1/1, but it isn't and it is a name your price type of a card. It went from a crooked day to a really bad day yesterday then relief, I thought I lost the key to the company car. If I didn't find the car key that is around $300 down the hole. I may send the card to PSA just to have it slabbed, but it no longer looking at anything BGS.

WUT?

Did Beckett steal your car keys too?

What other similar cards have graded, the price of the card and if yours passed ebay authentication are totally irrelevant. Same as your lost car keys.
