Beckett Grading Adds Four New Shows To It's Line-up

Beckett Grading will be attending four new, submission only, shows over the next few weeks to allow customers to drop their cards off their cards directly to a Beckett representative and save some money doing so. Beckett will be in the Tampa, FL, Pittsburgh, PA, Allentown, PA, and Oklahoma City, OK, areas over the next few months. Sign up for our show email list at www.beckett.com (or email us at grading@beckett.com) to receive show updates in your area and to receive exclusive show promotions that are only valid during the event/show. See our complete show list, including submission times, on the left side of the email or visit us at www.beckett.com/grading.

Want to pick up your grading submissions at one of these events, contact us at 972-448-9188 or grading@beckett.com for more information about this service.

One of the submission only shows BGS will be attending for the first time is the 50th Philly Non-Sport Show in Allentown, PA. This show is scheduled for May 2nd and 3rd. This is a great chance for you to save on shipping and insurance and drop off your submission with BGS! Also take advantage of a show-only special. You can only get this special pricing if you drop off your cards at this show.

Stop by and ask a few questions and drop off your submission!

Have a Question?

Q: I see that Beckett Grading is running the 10-10-10 offer again in April. Not only is this one of my favorite promotions, it is one I have been waiting for. Quick question, can I submit certified autographed cards under this offer?

A: You are correct....the famous 10-10-10 offer is being offered for the month of April to continue our 10 year celebration. This offer is for any customer that submits 10 or more cards, at our 10-day service, for the grading price of $10/card. If you have a certified autograph, you will simply add the $2 autograph surcharge to your $10 grading fee. This month's offer saves you up to $4/card and gets your cards graded and shipped back in about two weeks. Remember this offer is only valid for Beckett Grading submissions, modern and vintage, and not for any JSA submissions. We hope you enjoy the April offer!

Hawaii Trade Show Conference-Florida Edition
is just two weeks away!

If you’re a sports collectible retailer, make sure you register for this year's Hawaii Trade Conference/Mainland Edition before the discounted rate for retailers disappears. You have until Monday at midnight EST to sign up and save. And don't forget to purchase an additional registration for only $199.

Hotel Reminder: You'll also want to reserve your room at the Innsbrook Resort and Golf Club, the host venue for this year's event. The deadline to book rooms at the special discounted rate for conference attendees is Friday.

Card companies always provide conference attendees with some special keepsakes. This year, Upper Deck is providing attendees of the company’s Meet the Industry program with some truly rare cards! Each attendee will receive one random triple or quadruple autograph card of star players from a variety of sports.

"These shops are making the investment to improve their business, so we think it's only right to invest in providing them with a rare item they can take back to share with their customers" said Chris Carlin, Upper Deck's hobby marketing manager. "We have put together some amazing cards that are sure to get the entire industry talking by using autographs from such exclusive signers as Derek Jeter, Ken Griffey Jr., LeBron James, Kobe Bryant and more."

Plus, NFL prospect Ian Johnson, former Boise State running back, will sign autographs at this year's opening reception on Monday, April 20.
