I am still waiting to hear feedback from the first people who tried the service to decide whether to send cards to the new location or keep grading in USA.
The first batch of Beckett EU graded cards should be around the corner
Got the grades this morning! I sent in 22 Pikachu 001/sv-p promos, I got:
4 Black label 10s
14 Pristine 10s
4 9.5s
A while ago I sent 32 of the same promos to Beckett US, for those I got:
4 Black label 10s
22 Pristine 10s
6 9.5s
Pretty similar results. One interesting thing about the subgrades: from the US submission, 21 out of 22 pristines were held back from BL because of 9.5 centering. For the EU submission, only 1 of the pristines got 9.5 centering. I did of course pay extra attention to the centering after the US sub, but it’s still noteworthy I think.
Yep it was economy (or I guess it’s called Base now). Probably was fast because I was pretty early with my submission, I assume it’s gonna get a little slower over time
