    Man tough call, they both look really well centered, while the PSA seems to be more vibrant I guess I would take the Beckett as the corners look sharper.

    Does the PSA 8 have a black speck on the top edge?

    If so, the BGS 8.5 for sure.


    If not, toss up. It is hard to tell unless in hand.

    The BGS looks SLIGHTLY off centered and the PSA perfect on centering. However, hard to see any other issues with the BGS one and the PSA one has a soft upper left corner and a black mark on top. So I'd go with the BGS based on the scans, but most collectors are pickier about centering so not surprised the PSA is winning out

    I'd need a more transparent shot of both right side edges, but based on these scans I'd snag that beautifully centered 8 in a flash.

    I see white on 2 corners on the PSA card. BGS for me.

    Unfortunately, they are not my cards, are currenlty for sale, and these are the scans that the sellers have.

    they both have "old" flips.

    by going on the scans, i could see the PSA possibly bumping to an 8.5 due to centering

    what are the subs on the bgs?
