Beckett's Base and Standard Grading Tiers Are Open Again
After a six-week pause, Beckett is once again accepting submissions at its two most accessible grading service levels.
What Happened
Beckett closed its Base and Standard grading tiers for approximately six weeks before reopening them to submissions. The two tiers represent Beckett's most affordable entry points for collectors looking to get cards graded. No official explanation for the original closure has been confirmed.
Why Collectors Should Care
Base and Standard are the tiers most collectors actually use. A six-week blackout on those two levels meant anyone trying to grade everyday cards at a reasonable price had nowhere to go at Beckett. The reopening restores that option, and collectors who held submissions during the pause can now move forward. Whether turnaround times have changed as a result of the backlog that likely built up is the real question to watch.
