BCCG Grading-- First I Have Seen On eBay

Mefer

In running a search for 1971 Topps baseball, I came across this card:

This is the first time I have seen a "BCCG" card on eBay. I thought Shop At Home was the only one pedaling this junk. Don't you love the deception? 8= Excellent or better. I know it has been discussed here before, but when Beckett introduced this service I lost all respect for them.

Mefer,

There are over 1700 bccg cards on e-bay right now. However, if your only a vintage guy, you probably don't see them very often. They have been on e-bay for quite awhile, but mostly only modern cards. I agree, the scale is misleading (i.e. 10 = mint or better).

The Shop At Home buyers need somewhere to unload this stuff.

They are like roaches. If you see one, they are all over the place. They have been spreading through the vintage area for over a year now. Here is your link:

I like how sellers list their cards graded by other companies (i.e. not PSA) on ebay as SGC 88 = PSA 8, for example, when it's to their benefit. Why doesn't this guy do some keyword spamming of his own by stating BCCG 8 = PSA 5?

JEB.

I've sent a couple of submissions to Beckett for the BGS grading a while back but with this BCCG and BVG grading, I have come to realize that Beckett is a bogus grading company. They are contributing to the crap that is ruining the market. "Small" collector's who just dabble in graded cards once in a while are being duped by junk like this. You would think Beckett would know what real collector's want.
