Question: Beckett Grading

[boytiks]

hello guys please give some ideas about beckett grading since there's no beckett grading here in our country.
- how much per card? how long it takes for the card to be graded? where are the beckett service facility located?

and also is there an option to choose what type of labeling i like? what i mean is check the 2 samples the left one the grade of the autograph is on the back while the 2nd one the grade of the auto is on the front part of the card..

Sample: (NOT MINE)

Ok, you can either send the cards in by yourself or there are stores you can take to that will send the cards in for you. PRice is pretty much the same. Shipping i think varies depending on how many cards you send in. I think its like around $15 for shipping under 50 cards, $20 100, smoething like that. As for Grading, its $26 per card 1-19 cardscards if you want it 2 days, and as low as $9/card 1-19 cards if you do 45 days, the price lowers couple dollars if you get more like 20-99 has a price range and 100+ has a price range.

As for the autograph front or back. They normally put the autos in the front, but if the card is a thick one, like that cnotains patch or jersey auto, they put it in the back because there's no space in front.

From what he said ... the grade on the Matt Ryan card for the autograph is "on the back"? I didn't know that was an option to have the autograph grade on the back? Since it is not your card, are you sure that there is an autograph grade on the back ... or just assuming?

As for location, the Grading facilities are located about 2 miles from where I work in Addison, TX (about 7-8 miles north of Downtown Dallas). Good for me when I had a bunch of cards graded as no shipping was involved - drop off ... wait ... pick up !!!

Oh no, I didn't mean the auto is graded on the back. The first card didn't grade the auto, just the condition on the card corners, edges, surface and centering.

im not assuming, i saw one on ebay that the grade of auto is located on the back part.. check these: (NOT MINE)

that's why im wondering if you can choose where you want to put the autograph grade (front or back)..

I think it varies by the thickness of the card. The thinner point ones are in regular sized cases and have the Autograph grade on front. The thick cards have the Autograph grade on the back because they are in a different type of casing.
