Bases Loaded Sports Collectibles will host representatives from Beckett Grading Services and Beckett Authentication Services from noon to 7 p.m. Friday, June 1, and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, June 2, at 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.
Beckett Authentication Services was established to provide an autograph authentication service that is the most trusted and respected in the industry. Authenticating will be conducted on-site during the Bases Loaded event.
For every 10 items submitted for grading or authentication, customers will be entered into a contest to win an autographed 8×10 photo of Patrick Kane, an autographed 8×10 photo of Bill Polian or a $20 Bases Loaded gift certificate.
Drop-offs for grading and authenticating are currently being accepted at Bases Loaded Sports Collectibles for those who can’t make it to the June event.
