14 months later I'll ask again and hopefully Beckett can reply . . . Are awards and recognition in any near-term plans?

The Beckett registry has lacked PR and Marketing for too many years and in the end, mostly BVG values suffer in comparison to PSA which has understood all along that collectors compete for honors while driving more submissions. This in turn leads to graded card values going up because of higher demand particularly for higher end or rarer cards. Sounds simple but Beckett has ignored this for too long. Beckett Registry Contests has been "coming soon" for how many years now?

I've built registries for my own enjoyment but with an exit plan probably a few years away, I'd like to auction off a collection of even higher value and demand. Beckett should be recognizing and creating value for the Million$ BVG and BGS supporters have pumped into the company. What's it going to cost Beckett to launch a first sweep to designate the current finest registries? The answer should be not much.
