I don't doubt that the grading process is actually above board and very fair--I just wish there was a little more insight into the steps that are taken to ensure that it is (and I'll admit that it's very possible that there has been information written/shown about the process in the past before I re-entred the hobby), so that more people were sure that it was above board. I think that would go a long ways to making sure more people were comfortable with it. Pepper – Thanks for checking out the site and leaving your comments.

I can tell you from experience that BGS graders don't know nor are they influenced by what happens to the cards after they leave the grading division. They are fair in what they do -- whatever the grade is, is what it is. Sometimes that's great for the seller, and sometimes it's a different story. Good luck on your blogging efforts. -- Pepper@Beckett I noticed your concern about the grading of the Beckett T-206 Find.
