I am personally not a fan. I'll give Beckett the benefit of the doubt and assume they tested this concept with focus groups.

But I think for graded cards simplicity and consistency are good. I generally prefer BGS to PSA for modern cards but I like PSA's consistent red and white labeling. More subtle and professional. I don't want the label attracting more attention than the card itself.

But I know MANY others have written many posts about BGS vs PSA labels so won't digress too far down that path...

I'm not sure if this will add any value, but those sure look sharp.

I don't think yet another label colour is needed, even though a quad-10 is pretty rare. The grade number font is large enough that it stands out just fine IMO. I wish they'd stick to one colour like PSA does.

Cool looking!

I'm still upset with SGC for changing their label!

Those new labels will stand out at shows. ..

Love the new labels. I'm sure this means they'll probably be giving out more 10s. And more 10s with a 9.5.

Now if they could just redo the god awful Authentic slab label.

Pretty cool looking and only $5 to re-label seems pretty reasonable IMO...

More money, more money, more money for Beckett.

Exactly, Personally I could care less what a label looks like, but hey I'm not into graded cards so maybe I'm different than most.

Another gimmick from Beckett. I don't trust their grading and I never will. The only BGS graded cards that usually sell for more than PSA are cards like the one pictured with the silly auto grade. All that matters is if the auto is real. I don't own any BGS cards and most likely never will.

just the latest weak money grab at bgs, the auto grade now this

I kinda like the idea that a BGS 10 card with all 10 sub grades will get the black label.
And that's it


It's not like all BGS labels are not available in Black labels.

looks awesome

Looks great. Personally, I think they should of just went all the way and used the black label on ALL Pristine cards.

so when is BGS going to do camo labels for 9's, purple labels for 8's, pink labels for 7's, etc. and add the tagline "collect the rainbow!".

Exactly what I was thinking.

I think you are taking an idea made to distinguish something fairly rare and turning it into something different. How many quad 10's have you seen?

Again. A different color more money, more money for Beckett.
