Easy pass already send cards to Beckett + own a PSA membership to send cards to them no way i'd buy a new membership when they are not even upfront about fee's or turn around times out the gate not to mention those cases will not be appealing to sports card collectors

My buddy swears up and down that PSA is the superior card grading business. Something about Beckett magazine being akin to Wizard in terms of reputation.

What is that 5 companies now? If you want to talk about long wait times. I know a guy that it took 13 months to get his cards back.

I wonder if they will come with free newton rings?


But seriously, I hate the idea that they would develop this and not solve the newton ring problem first. Newton rings are one of the main reasons that I had never submitted anything to them. I hate newton rings and I think this is a big middle finger to their supporters who have been asking them to fix them for years. That's my thoughts on this.

I'd like to say I still turned out alright, but that would be a lie. flanders private msg quote post Address this user
Those are some hideously ugly cases. Those labels don't look right.

Looks like Beckett understands it isn't about the label.

Looks like CGC will only be grading and encapsulating Pokémon TCG and Magic: The Gathering cards (for now).

Wouldn't sports cards fall under their CSG brand?

You beat me to it.

I don't collect cards (one expensive hobby is enough, thank you) But those just don't look right. Hideous sums it up.

That’s a “gastly” label

Looks like the designer was told to make everything match the comic labels, period, without taking into consideration the form/needs of the smaller case.

(and hi, I'm new)

Thanks, folks!

And yeah, old habits. My original career was in design, specifically layout and prepress operations for high end clients (Kellogg, Whirlpool, etc..), so attention to detail was, to be kind, critically important.

Now at the current job, I'm the client, so the ad agencies that we work with get that same attention to detail, whether they wanted it or not...!
