Again. A different color more money, more money for Beckett.
You mean businesses exist to make more money?
Also, it's optional.

yes, they exist to make money but they can die like I think BGS must be doing if they can't grow revenue organically on their laurels but rather have to do a gimmick to try to get people who have already done business with them in the past to send their BGS graded cards back to them for more revenue to relabel and reship the cards back.
That's why I think the 9's, 8's, and 7's are next to get gimmick labels because that's a bigger revenue stream than the 10's are.

TIm you can bet youll see plenty of these quad 10's bank on it bgs is
I actually really like this idea. Quad tens are near impossible to get and command a premium over standard tens. The problem now is that I see three quad ten becoming the mattress ten and tens will become the new 9.5s, so bgs will hand out more quad tens. One seller already more than five black labels on eBay. No way each of those cards are all completely flawless cards.
I think if you search bgs black label on eBay you'll find them. The Kris Bryant is listed.What years?

Love the look of the quad 10 pristine. I have done a fair amount of grading and have only had one or two grade pristine, none with quad 10 subs. Likely the seller with all of the black label cards, collected them in the secondary market and had them placed in the new slabs.
We can probably check this by seeing if the slab serial numbers are close to each other.
Good point. So with that in mind, I did check. He has a 2012 BC and a 2014 BC and the numbers vary greatly, likely not graded at the same time and just slabbed for the new label.
I'm looking at some of the grading dates now:
2012 seager:
November 26, 2014
2014 winker:
June 20, 2014
2014 giolito
June 20, 2014
2013 ball
May 06, 2014
2014 bryant
July 10, 2014
So this looks to be proof that these cards were not all graded from the same order.
But here's where things get strange. BGS didn't announce the black label until yesterday [black friday]. The seller's Bryant is the exact same one featured in BGS's announcement based on slab serial number. The seller mentions "Black Friday" in his listings. So the seller had to know about the black labels before everyone else. But how?
