“Took some time, but BGS/BVG well worth it!”

Mark D.
4/17/21

Sent in 100 cards on a 30-day economy and was highly satisfied on the return with the box being safely padded with bubble wrap inside styrofoam, inside a cardboard box. That was my biggest worry, but it was great to see the cards after a near 9 month wait in these COVID times. Sure, the pandemic slowed things, but luckily I did this before the price increase. Have had all great experiences with Beckett. Cards look so much better encased by BGS than those skinny ones of PSA. Props to BVG/BGS.

I wish I read Beckett's reviews before sending anything to them. Any company that doesn't respond to public complaints about their service certainly isn't responding to private complaints. I sent them an autograph to be graded, something went wrong, but not sure what as they refused to get back to me with any answers. It's been six weeks since I started to ask for order status on something I sent in months ago. I now must take them to court or I'm out of the money. Don't make my mistake, read their online reviews, and filter by date. These are not old complaints, protect your investment, by using anyone else.

I submitted a card 78 days ago.
30-60 day turn around.
1 card that's it!
Nothing!
Find another grading service!
This was a great company back in the early 2000!
Now I am paying 10 times what I used to pay for a card to be graded!
I have tried everything to get this card graded but nothing works.
I give up.
Just gonna ask for the card back and refund of 69.00
Joke company!

After reading all the bad reviews I have to send a good one in. After 14 months of not hearing from Beckett I also was ready to go to the BBB however with the covid 19 and Becketts major move then a new CEO Kunal Chopra it made more sense. Out of blue Saurav Kaushik contacted me with information and sent it to
Dee Braun who worked it and sent it up to Mike Gardner who finally got the order worked. All three of these employees did a good job after August fourth 2022 and with the new CEO in town. I sent another email to Beckett but not sure they received it as there is much more to this story. In closing keep the faith I think Beckett is on a return to good service.

Last month beckett basketball has got. Jason tatum select rc on the hot list.at 120.00 the very next issue. That same card. Is down to 40.00. How can there be trust.is this guide.if it's able to pull bull$#*! on its collectors like this. I used to have trust in Beckett. Only no longer. As I no longer collect or buy cards at all. I blame beckett for this.

Horrible customer service in regards to online pricing! Can't reach anyone, between emails, phone calls and scheduled phone calls I was 1 for 9 and that was an email telling me they're weren't refunding my $ no matter what! I wanted to discuss situation of auto billing me on my last day of current subscription and that I should be able to. All I got was crickets... Done with Beckett and I have been collecting cards for almost 60 yrs. And about to sell off my collection so they lost alot of grading business which I'm thankful for now.

So someone at Beckett has either messed up and put my card in someone else's slab or it has been stolen.

I have had the slab returned to me with a complete different card inside it.

In the grade it was given its worth about £7800.

They are trying to say that if it can't be found I'm most likely only entitled to the raw value I gave at checkout for shipping insurance despite it not being lost in transit but under Beckett's care.

Apart from this I have had numerous issues with past orders like wrong labels etc.

Waste of time and money, Their phone number they have posted does not work. Its been over a week since i emailed their support and nothing at all from them.

Tip for consumers:
10-20 day standard shipping time is not correct I've been waiting over a month for them to come back and with no response from the company .

I am primarily a coin dealer and use grading services often. I sent 2 cards to Beckett and got 600+ sales emails before the cards arrived. I did get three about my order. Two were responses to my WTF are my cards inquiries. One had a tracking number. First and LAST time customer.

Tip for consumers:
Turn around time was 15 months. NO COMMUNICATION about my order until I demanded after 8 months.

Unless ur grading a card that has potential to be 1k++ in worth don't grade ur card here. They make empty promises on there timelines. The companies website is outdated and they are a greedy company. 3+ months is now going on 10 months. They took submissions with false narratives of timelines. I hope people realize how unprofessional and outdated this company really is.

Absolute joke of people working there. They love to tell other people items are false when they didn't authenticate first and then won't back up their words! They deemed a JSA Witness item not authentic even though JSA confirmed it was! Since when are they JSA experts. That's the reason they've lost all credibility with me and anyone I talk to moving forward!

I sent some vintage cards and a few new ones to be graded. They came back way lower than reasonable. A card with great centering and edges was given a 5. Should at least be 7. Disappointing.

Too many different formats and pricing options per sport that are vulgarly over priced considering most cards aren't even listed by this so-called #1 authority in sports collectibles. They wanted me to download an app totally separate from Beckett just to read a digital monthly price guide. But this was not the case when I purchased a guide several weeks ago. I also can not see this recent purchase on my Beckett account. It's almost like they have three to four different sites with different formats all interwoven together depending on what you're looking at. Still no refund. Still no price guide. Literally nothing has changed with this company in 25 years I didn't like them as a kid and I don't like them now. Is Tuff Stuff still around?

The customer service at this company is amazingly bad. I think I'm going to cancel my subscription to the price guide and never send another item to them to be graded or authenticated again. If you're a good customer, they don't care. And I think it's not done on purpose, it's just total incompetence on the part of the company's employees, to the core. So I think I'm going to take my business elsewhere.

They don't respond to any form of communication, and you can't call them PSA and SGC MUCH preferred, with better service and less delays in turnaround of graded cards.

This has been the worst customer service I have ever had. I have tried for months to get my cards back but can't get in touch with anyone there. I was able to email a salesman but he keeps telling me I will be contacted by FRITZIE who now seems not to exist. I had autograph cards that were authenticated on the cards themself by pro set and embossed with special seal stating they were authentic. Well this was not good enough and I was told they had to be sent off for authentication. Even though the price was different to authenticate the same card signed by two different people I agreed to have it done. Now six months later I have nothing and can't get a hold of anyone except a salesman for new submissions who passes it off to FRITZIE and then nothing. NEVER TRUST THEM WITH ANYTHING I WILL BE FLYING TO TEXAS SOON TO GET THESE CARDS AND DEFINATELY WILL NEVER USE THEM AGAIN. IF THEY OFFERED FREE GRADING I WOULD PASS ON THEM AND WILL NEVER BUY ONE OF THEIR GRADED CARDS AGAIN JUST CANT TRUST THEM HORRIBLE COMPANY STAY AWAY, STAY AS FAR AWAY AS POSSIBLE.

I sent in three comic books to be graded through CBCS. That was in August. It is now December and I still don't have my books. What's worse is they double charged me (different amounts) for the same three books. That when I call "customer service" it takes me to a call center in India with very polite people saying they will call me back and never do. Saurav is the most recent, and this review is going on this company's page because he has it in his email footer. I WANT MY BOOKS BACK!

Tip for consumers:
If you like bad customer service, double charging on services, long wait times, and essentially anythign else that's bad that you can think of, these are the guys for you. If you value your collectibles and favor good, local customer service and return calls on issues then seek that elsewhere.

I sent (1) Fathers Day AAron Judge card and (1) Mothers Day card to be graded. They sent back (2) graded cards both with the title of Mothers Day. Simple typo mistake. No not with these guys, It's been 3 weeks and they still can't figure it out. Sent front and back scan of card but still nothing. One look at original order as compared to what they sent back and they should be able to figure it out.

This company is cooked. Had an account for a while. I always had the autorenew box unchecked. Look at my bank statement and they renewed. Called the same day hours after the charge and an idiot named "Allan" said that it was non refundable. Asked to speak with a manager and said they would call me back in 2 hours. Well "Allan" is a liar much like this company. Save your money and get a more accurate card price by looking at what it sells for on ebay
