I would like scans but Grading is expensive enough and I think the scanning would be cost prohibitive from a supply and demand stand point.

Scans are nice, but I sure wouldn't want to pay any extra. As it's been said, grading is costly enough. And besides, I have 2 scanners, I can do it myself. From a cost standpoint, scanners are so inexpensive now, to me it's cheaper in the long run to buy a scanner and do it myself as opposed to paying Beckett an added charge to the grading price. This is especially true if you have a lot of cards to get graded, I probably have at least 100 singles for my 1961 Topps set; an added charge for scanning would be prohibitive.

It will be a small additional to the processing that they do already to prepare the cards after grading. It is beneficial for Beckett since it would separate their service level from other grading firms. (11-06-2013, 08:18 PM)bamyanks Wrote: Scans are nice, but I sure wouldn't want to pay any extra.

Beckett has a routine in printing, prepping and sealing slabs. An additional step of a scan would not be a substantial burden. It might add a few seconds to the processing, but would have the potential of bringing new customers. Like you said, scanners are cheap. Beckett could add scanners just like you and save you time.

Having a competitive edge is good for any business. Scanning would help everyone from Beckett, collectors, and buyers. 1. Collectors would benefit since not all of us have a high resolution scanners. 2. Buyers would benefit since they will have a Beckett certified scan. 3. Beckett has scan of their grading for internal quality control and tracking of graded slabs. They can also add directly to their registry.
they could also grade stuff for 1 dollar and ensure each of us that makes a submission gets a date with a super model. that would clearly put them ahead
