Bases Loaded Sports Collectibles plans Beckett card-grading event

Feb 3, 2018 | Sports Scene

Bases Loaded Sports Collectibles will host Charles Stabile, Northeast Regional Sales Manager from Beckett Grading Services, for a card and memorabilia grading event from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday, Feb. 23, and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 24, in the store located at 794 French Road, Cheektowaga.

Beckett Grading Services provides collectors with the most thorough, consistent and accurate grading efforts available in the industry. Your BGS-graded cards will be returned in a unique, protective cardholder. Beckett uses an easy-to-understand one- to 10-point grading scale to rate sports cards, which are graded on four key categories: Centering, corners, edges and surface. Grades from each of these key categories will be considered in determining your card’s final overall grade. Beckett also grades non-sports cards, magazines, pocket schedules and gaming cards. The cost is $15 per item (additional $2 for certified autographed cards), with 10-day service.

Additionally, for every 10 items submitted for grading, customers will be entered into a contest to win an autographed 16×20 photo of Andre Reed, an autographed 8×10 photo of Bill Polian, or a $20 Bases Loaded gift certificate.

Drop-offs for grading are currently being accepted at Bases Loaded Sports Collectibles for those who can’t make it to the February event.
