Detailed sub-grades on every card
Unlike PSA, Beckett provides four individual sub-scores alongside the overall grade. This gives you a deeper understanding of your card's condition.
Centering
How well the image is centred within the card borders, front and back.
Corners
Sharpness and condition of all four corners under magnification.
Edges
Condition of the card edges, checking for chipping, roughness or wear.
Surface
Scratches, print defects, staining, or other surface imperfections.

Please note: Shipping times are additional to the turnaround times listed above. The timer starts from when your order enters the queue, not when it arrives at Beckett. Times are a generalised guide and can be subject to many external factors such as weather, shipping delays, customs, and Beckett's internal workload.
The Coveted Black Label
A BGS 10 Pristine with perfect 10 sub-grades earns the legendary Black Label, the highest distinction in card grading. Black Label cards command enormous premiums and are the holy grail for serious collectors.
