If I am reading this right it looks like brad and Beckett are parting ways...

or at least that is what he will have us believe. Check out auction 180281574041. Thoughts?

<< <i>I think the answer he was given in email was a bunch of corporate BS. "Change the standards from time to time"? Thats THE problem. People who paid big money for a GEM MINT card 5 years ago could have waited and bought a "9" and gotten a bump. Standards should NEVER change and if they do change based on a certain card or flaw within a set, ALL cards should be allowed to be resubmitted at no charge. Any grading company worth its salt should back this up. >>
The "changing of standards" over time PSA and SGC is guilty of as well. I can't count on 5 hands how many times I seen threads on here with people stating " they've been tough the last couple months I think I'll wait awhile to send more in" or how about "the grader of death" everyone claims nailed there cards?
The only Legit "beef" anyone has with BGS that I see is the slabbing of "sheet cut cards" other than that PSA and SGC are guilty of the same things 100%
I'm also kind of curious about what he means when he (the BGS rep) says that they have customers who they 'suspect are trying to defraud' them. How does a card submitter go about defrauding a TPG?
I assumed that was a reference to the dealers who have had many cards rejected for alterations (as if they and every other TPG don't know full well what goes on in this hobby/industry with many of these dealers).
The rest of Mark's response was fine, but I rolled my eyes when I read that line...and would have reacted the same had it been written by Mr. Olando or Mr. Grady.

I like the part about 'hard evidence to go after them'. So BGS is chomping at the bit for the chance to take a bulk submitter to court for trying to sneak altered Adrian Peterson SP RC's into Beckett holders? Somehow I doubt this.
