Beckett submission takes too long

Beckett submission takes too long

I sent a card to Beckett using Express grading, which is 15 days return. They received since 07/17, 4 weeks has passed but its still not graded. Is this normal or am I tripping.

Margins for a Black Label?

TAG and CGC grader here, I'm been very interested in trying for a black label. No card is exactly 50/50, so what are the margin range for a black label? For example, with CGC if I get with 48.5/51.5, I have a good chance for a CGC Pristine. TAG has a very specific range for a Pristine, within 49/51. I was thinking of sending this Gundam card in. Would love to hear from anyone who got a Black Label what you think the margin range is and any advise on this card would be great. Learn a lot from CGC and TAG, starting to learn about BGS so anything helps.

Follow up to current wait times

I made a post trying to gauge the current wait times for base tier, and my submission that was put in the grading queue on 4/28 just hit graded today 8/17, 76 business days later. Not bad for how backed up everything has been. Now does anyone know about how long it takes to get through the production queue?

Can someone ease my mind please.

This was my first time sending cards in to Beckett. I did a submission to get a few on card autographs authenticated the Beckett Authentication. I got to the final screen and it stated print out the packing slip and ship it with the cards to the address provided and thats what i did. After sending my cards out i went on the website to check if my order is appearing on my account and its not. I waited a day after it was delivered to Beckett to see if the order has appeared on my account and it hasnt. Today i woke up to a email from my bank that i got a charge from Beckett. I instantly thought maybe my order is showing in my account now. When i checked.. my order is still not showing on my account. Is this normal... and if so how long does it take for my order to reflect on my account. Is this a error?

What grade would this get for corners?

Hi I’m new to grading, and I was wondering what grade this card would get for corners and if its worth sending in?

Anyone else having trouble with logging into Beckett's website atm? I tried resetting my password, but its just telling me the account doesn't exist, and I know it does cause I just submitted an order. I can't create a new account either.

BGS missed their "5-Day Priority" timeline by 14 days. I asked for a refund after delivery, and they are using fake date math to deny it.

Hey everyone, I need to get the community's take on this absolute customer service nightmare with Beckett.

I submitted an order under their Priority 5-Day Service Tier, which costs a premium of $124.95+ USD per card. They invoiced me on July 16. Instead of taking 5 business days, it took them 19 business days to get the cards to me. I finally received the package this past Monday, August 10.

Because they completely blew past the premium turnaround time I paid for, I contacted support to request a refund on the grading fees for breach of contract.

They left me a message denying the refund, claiming I missed their "10-day cutoff window."

Here is the kicker: Beckett’s own policy states you have 10 days from the date you receive the package to report issues or service failures. I received it on Monday! The support agent is trying to claim my 10 days started all the way back on July 16 when they invoiced it. How am I supposed to complain about a late delivery before the delivery even arrives?

They tried to buy me off with a weak $150 store credit, which doesn't even cover the premium fees I paid.

Has anyone else dealt with BGS agents using fake date math to dodge turnaround guarantees? I’m about to just file a chargeback with my credit card company for services not rendered as promised.

I sent in 2 for graded card review for BL

Didn’t get them. One was 9.5 centering. Other was 9.5 surface. What do these remarks mean? Especially centering

Fake or real?

Today I got my card form ebay and I am not shure if it is normal? Grading Label is moving in slab when I'm shaking it.

Question about minimum grade requirement for Raw ungraded cards

Does anyone know if you can submit a minimum grade requirement on a Raw ungraded card? I have a 2023-24 Topps Mercury Victor Wembanyama Shaquille O'Neal Black Refractor /10 card.

The only reason I am posting this is because NICHOLE with their customer service sent me an email saying they don't.

Screenshot 1 is the message from Nichole. While Screenshot 2 is directly from their own website.

A BGS 9 of this card just sold on Ebay for $14,000. I have a little bit of equipment for looking at my card. I have lots of Loupes and a magnifying lamp that does 10x and 30x. All my Loupes go from 5x to 50x. I just don't see any faults in the card.

After I provided Nichole the screenshot about what her own website says. She says....

I don't know whether you can do a minimum grade requirement or not then. Do you want to go ahead and submit your card now?

I told her I will gladly submit my card once they can answer my question.

Should I get it graded?

When I went to check on the current marketprice yesterday I almost fainted, so I’ve been thinking about getting it graded, but am still unsure, can anyone be my knight in shining armour and tell me if it’s worth grading?

Anyone know how to pay an invoice after you sent your card in already?

I paid for my invoice but apparently, they never took the money out.

I'm trying to pay it now but I'm not seeing any way to do so.

Graded card review population report

I have 2 BGS 10 that I sent in for a graded card review for possible BL. They finished and went to shipping status so I checked my account. They gave them cert numbers but upon lookup, they have a grade of 0.0 on those certs. Original BGS 10 certs are still live. What does this mean? No change? They kept them 10s? What’s with the new cert numbers?

Should I get these graded?

When BGS reopens the base and standard tiers again, should I submit these?

Beckett quality control

I’ve done over 10 submission with Beckett and I would have to say this is the worst submission I’ve ever done with anyone in my entire life. On top of the fact 9/20 of my cards came back “altered” from using Kurt’s card care on all of them including the ones that got graded but my highest and most valuable slab… has a Beckett employee hair in it. How did I even go about this 🤣
