Ugh! BGS now puts the subgrades & verification number on label's front

Just got these back from BGS (these are a customer's cards, not mine). They have always had the subs and verification number on the front of their oversized/tall boy holder, but now they're doing it with regular cards also. I don't like it at all, crowds the label too much in my opinion. On the reverse of the label it states

What do ya'll think?

  • cheap, ugly, cheesy....much like Dr. Beckett himself
  • As it is, ugly.

    Would be better if they just put this info in small font somewhere on the label:

    Ce 9
    Co 10
    E 9.5
    S 9

    Or in one line: CE 9 CO 10 E 9.5 S 9

    I understand what they're trying to do...put that info on the front to make it more accessable, but they could make it less intrusive.

    strange looking...ok....so now are our old label beckett cards worth more or less??? i know they dont have as great a reputation anymore but i have quite a few from 3-4 yrs ago when they were the toughest out there and going for alot more then psa...interesting what will happen... with it being UGLIER the old ones should be worth MORE!!! LOL

    loth
  • Way too much info on the front. The only positive is that one would no longer need to ask seller what the subs are since he only scanned the front, but I doubt I'll be buying much more Beckett anyway.

    ... just when I thought they couldn't get any worse.

    no wonder I pay the shipping fees to send cards to PSA instead of making the 30 minute drive to beckett headquarters and saving myself $50 in shipping per order

    Way too much crap on the front. Very bad idea on Beckett's part.
