Can you get Beckett to slab cards but not grade them?

[peacefrogdog]

I read the article about the Cup Gretzky/Lemieux dual shield, where the card was slabbed and authenticated by Beckett, but from what I recall it wasn't graded.

Is it possible to send cards to Beckett to have them put in slabs for protection and authentication purposes, but not actually have it graded?

I think Triple B suggested this a while back on the Beckett board but I'm not sure what the response was.

Yes, it is possible - its kind of tricky to find in their Grading page though, its hidden somewhere towards the bottom. Regular price, it costs the same as grading - they run quite a few promotions for it though.

Yep, All you need to do is download a Submission form and at the bottom there's a box saying "By checking this box your cards will only be authenticated and will not receive a numeric grade...." I'll try a link, but I'm not sure it will work:

Shoot me a PM if you have any other questions. Mike

BTW, I think it is BS that we can't link the "Other" site. Just grow up guys. Mike

I'll agree to that, just stupid kids playing...

But to the topic, i have been thinking about sending some cards to this service too. Would be nice to have good protection for some nice cards.
