Unusual grading...

I recently had 100 cards graded by Beckett. I've graded with Beckett 15 times or so and around 2000 cards. This time they said that 23 of my cards that I sent in were "shaved". Out of the 2000 or so cards I had previously sent in, I've had maybe 20 come back "shaved". Most of these cards in question on this current submission were 1961 - 1980. None cost more than $40 with most of them around $10-$15. No Mantles, No big time rookies. Have anyone of you had a similar experience?
Work hard and you will succeed!!

I guess you need to cut off the edge that they are saying is shaved. They love completely cut cards.
I saw where Oaksey (sp) posted about Beckett's wait time. I had to wait 125 total days, not sure how many business days that was but it was close to 80. And then they only graded 75% of my cards and billed me for every one. It sounds like they just want to grade new auto/new cards. $10 for 10 days. No interest in forming a registry apparently, which really helps PSA. But that's their niche I guess. looks like SGC and PSA for 1980 and back.
@olb31 I think you mean $20 each for 10 days. I haven't seen a 10 for 10 from BGS in quite awhile.

I think they would do $10, 10 days for 100 cards or more. But I could be wrong.
gotcha,i've never heard of that special but i'm not a member of their collector's club either though. I have about 20-25 cards to send to beckett but just haven't done it yet. They're not worth $20+/grading and after hearing all of the horror stories about their backlogged orders taking so long i don't want to wait a quarter of a year to see them again either.

Its $15 each for 100+ cards with 10 day turn around. It used to be $10 before the latest change.
I actively collect Kirby Puckett. I have collections of Michael Jordan, Emmitt Smith, Roberto Clemente, Dwight Gooden, Tom Seaver, Errict Rhett and Evan Longoria.
If you are a member, they pretty much send you a 10 for 10 every month in addition to whatever the monthly special is
what's the minimum on the 10 for 10?
