Will Beckett grade an error card?

[AVSfan]

I have a certain UD Young Guns card that has a production run of under ten at the very most, ive only seen one personally.

Id like to get it graded because the thing is in mint condition but im not sure if they'll take it.

Beckett has graded facsimile signatures as hardsigned Autos recently. I doubt they mind/notice these days....

But the card doesn't actually exist in their "Database".

If it's some variation of cardboard with a picture on it I imagine they will grade it. My question to youis if it is that rare why bother getting it graded? I am not asking to be a jerk but are you looking for Beckett to lend it credibility? If so I am not sure it will accomplish that for the reasons mentioned above. I'm not sure I would sink the money into grading it. Of course I am NOT a fan of those darn slabs to begin with so maybe my opinion isn't the most "fair and impartial"

BTW I may be a simpleton for not knowing but what card are you talking about?

If you're paying, they're grading.

The card has been in one of those "Bullet proof" one screw holders since 2002. I want to get graded purely for the protection aspect.

If you'd like to get it graded for credibility, you're probably better off with PSA. Beckett's already under something of a pall because of grading sheet-cut cards.

Sounds like he's talking about a 2001-02 Young Gun that erroneously hit the market. It's not like they are contraband. As cards-gotta-go says, if you're paying, they'll grade it. They'd probably grade a grocery receipt.

You can pop open a PSA slab with your bare hand, switch the card and close it back like it was before.They dont grade sheet cut but they grade trimmed cards.

Both have some credibilitty issues.

HAHAHA....that's gold and a candidate for quote of the month if such an award exists around here.

I'm gonna try to get me a BGS 9.5 2009-10 Safeway receipt one of these days.
