In order to do a Beckett BGS Graded Card Review GCR at The National they are asking us to sign this waiver. It sates that you will not sue them even if they damage your cards for any reason, including negligence.
So Beckett can rip my $100K card in half and not have any responsibility to pay for it? Is this new or has anyone seen this before?

This Agreement further releases all Releasees from any and all alleged Damages connected with the Services (including, without limitation, economic, consequential, compensatory, or punitive damages), as well as any Equitable Claims connected with the Services, or any other relief whatsoever, arising out of, or in any way related to the Services. This waiver, release, covenant not to sue, and indemnification shall apply even if the Claims are caused in whole or in part by the negligence, gross negligence, or strict liability of one or more of the Releasees.

literally wtf???
Am I understanding this correctly?
Can you please share the link to these terms?
if you do a submission for GCR it will pop up on the last screen. I was very surprised by the language. It seems ridiculous
Doesn’t pop up for me on BGS site for some reason but if you have a link or pdf or something I’d like to see it.
This sounds like a dirt-standard liability release. You sign one every time you submit to BGS or PSA or any large grading company. I would assume that the review liability release is stronger given that they may need to crack the card out of the holder, and they want to be protected in the case of unexpected damage.
If you aren’t comfortable with it, I would avoid the graded card review as many have advised you to do.

Get a lawyer, submit cards, have beckett damage cards, sue, profit with a hefty settlement. Or you end up getting clean cards back. Its a no lose situation, I’d be grading all day if i liked bgs slabs at all.
