Well like anything I like to do some leg work but like they always say you are not gonna find the perfect place.. but look for the one that provides the most. As I can tell Beckett is doing that. Only negative thing I heard is website issues but thats itBased on my past experiences with PSA I will never send a post 1980 card to them for grading, ever! That said, PSA 10s consistently bring in more money than BGS 9.5s on eBay. I think there are actually 1 or 2 people on these boards that buy BGS 9.5s, regrade them with PSA, and sell them for a profit.

my exception for post '80s stuff and PSA would be for high end low numbered 90s parallels that I know would get a PSA 10
anything less than a PSA 10 for 90s and up stuff--i could care less about. but there are a lot of people putting together sets of lower numbered/harder to find inserts from the 90s and a PSA 10 > anything else in my mind for those.

And I've seen PSA 9's get BGS 8.5's & BGS 8's.I've also seen BGS cards that crossed over to lower PSA grades. The bottom line is that it is all personal preference between these 2. I personally prefer BGS for modern cards (I like their slabs better), but I prefer PSA and SGC for vintage. As long as you stick to PSA or BGS- it's 6 of one, half dozen of the other. I just happened to be looking for Strasburg autos on Ebay right now. I found a BGS 9.5 and a PSA 10 that ended exactly one minute later from the same seller. Exact same card. Here is the BGS 9.5 that went for $217.50: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2010-Bowman-Ster...5d3ca459f1 Here is the PSA 10 that ended ONE MINUTE later, and went for $307.26: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2010-Bowman-Ster...20d0e46e60
When I was still actively collecting I graded the modern I wanted in BGS slabs and my vintage through SGC as I much prefer the look and knowledge on the vintage stuff through them

SGC slabs also look gorgeous with vintage cards IMHO
