BGS old registry is back again. BGS confirms.
I know a few months back I stated this when it appeared for a few days only to have it disappear. But Beckett is actually stating that its back this time.
Here is the link to the statement

Far too little far too late. Beckett graded cards are dead compared to PSA. Check the eBay BGS listings compared to PSA. It's like night and day. Beckett did everything in their power to damage their brand-name in 2009.

I don't disagree, however, as a buyer/collector/slabber instead of a seller, its made prices drop nicely, although, it has made finding the BGS slabbed cards I need a bit harder to find for the sets I have started that I need to complete in BGS. And yes, I haven't start new ones since the F-ed this up, but I need to complete the ones I did start.

Though, if PSA made a few simple changes to there business model (remove "membership", make turnarounds guaranteed and go to First In, First Out method within the submission levels) they would certain kill BGS completely.

Its just a shame that it took almost 2 years for BGS to make this simple change.

I agree on the changes but doesn't BGS have service levels as well? I would also like to see PSA change their slabs to make them more temper evident.

Yea, BGS has service levels, but all 45 days subs take about 45 days. While at PSA, if two subs within the same level arrive on the same day, 1 may pop in a week, while the other may take 45 days.
