Beckett Message Boards

I've been working on a small Matt Read collection ever since I saw him play on Versus and found out he's a 25 year old rookie. There's something to be said about a guy who perseveres and comes into the league at that age when most rookies are 18 or 19. Anyways, after waiting for 3 days for Beckett's grading site to reopen I found out what my submissions were graded at:


ItemID Set Name Player Final Grade
6997323 1988-89 Topps Wayne Gretzky Sweater 9.5
6997322 2011-12 Upper Deck Exclusives Matt Read YG 9.5
6997321 2011-12 Upper Deck Matt Read YG 9.5
6997320 2011-12 Upper Deck Matt Read YG 10.0

My first 10!! Very happy with the results. The Gretzky was from a 88/89 topps box break from 5 years ago and figured what the hey, let's see how it grades. I was shocked at that 9.5 too. Here are some other cards in the pc





My fingers are crossed that he's a SP in Ice this year.

Congrats on the full rainbow + Pristine bonus, but you actually want to chase an Ice /99 huh? Careful what you wish for!

I know it makes it more expensive to collect but it also makes it more challenging and fun to try to chase a few down. He would be much easier to acquire than other /99 Ice rookies like Nugent-Hopkins!

wow amazing

congrats on the rainbow
