well, all that steam's gotta go somewhere, right! :lol:

people are gonna feel how they feel, but the folks at beckett are specialized in different things. They're expected to know everything, but it's never the case. They are after all, just fans like us.

I didn't know Mous was hurt either until a few days before he started playing. Either that or I did and pushed it out of my mind because I knew it was only a minor injury.

Haha, you should reply telling him that Moose hit his 6th HR today.

That's a pretty funny message, though. A relief from those complaining customers, at least, and a good laugh.

I have a "few" Moose Elites and I'm glad to see that he's garnering some attention. If he makes number 1 on the hot list this week, I think we'll continue to see his cards rise a bit.

Yeah but we aren't pricing a magazine. They are.

IMHO, it isn't beckett's job to know why a card reacts. It's their job to notice the market reaction and chronicle it.
Which they do a terrible job of....

The whole idea of the OPG was to keep "prices" real time and up to date. Jsut saying, if Austin Jackson's stuff is selling for more than BV now, it might be safe to give it the up arrow and re-evaluate right?

Uh...they damn well better know why a card reacts the way it does. Otherwise...how could they even accurately account for the prices of anything. Kind of like the problem now. Like others have said, they are behind because they follow already outed info. If they could get their heads out into the sunshine and realize why things happen, they could be a better price guide and more up to date.

I get the feeling their grading service is what keeps them afloat now. And I think their graders do a good job overall - at least on my submissions it seems that way.
