namisgr Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 (edited) For those who are upset over a lack of Twitter presence, I suggest you turn to Facebook. There, you'll learn that the company isn't belly up, has a June moving date set, and will be relocating into bigger space and with more staffing, along with a few new services in the works. Finally, for those posting in this thread who've discussed whether CGC graded books are or are not tighter than the competitor, and might command a higher price at a given grade, this other thread serves as a reminder that consistency in grading can be more important for the hobbyist and dealer alike than off-and-on strictness.

That is possible for a large amount of $ $, but Becketts might rethink the purchase and ...again just possible sell it to CGC or Metro if the company becomes a bigger hassle than they want. It is a way out, also a further settlement could be some type of metro ownership in a LLC or something like that. I do not think meto would spend the money unless they were 95% assured they were gonna win or get a settlement that I agree with.

Given that the other grading company is about to move into Beckett corporate space in two weeks and gain access to enhanced support from Beckett staff, your thought has no substance to back it up.

I believe when the company was first started they intended all along to merge with the CGC after 5 or 7 years at a premium price to CGC to obtain market share. You can check my early posts on this, when the company was first going forward. I was wrong but had the right idea...it was Beckets and probably for a heck of lot less than what there goal was $$ wise. Growing pains, bad decisions, CGC obtaining market share....were a part of that, Bankrupt I don't know, but we are being bought to get more $$$, bigger locations and everything is gonna be better does not tell the whole story...it's coprate SPIN.........so those of you who are buying what the "other" guy is saying 100% reason...just look sworn compaint by Mero and actions of the company...rather than the "spin" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fla court is gonna have something to say about this, which might be contrary to Becketts interest in retaining the company...whether its cash out of their pocket, the return of the "other" guy or whatever, they are gonna have to deal with this lawsuit and Meto is tough both in terms of $$$ and ownership. It is not my thought, it is a reality. Just because they change locations does not change the fact that they have to compete with CGC, which is gonna further dominate the market.

It is not my thought, it is a reality. To remind you, your thought is that Beckett might rethink its purchase. Unless you've got anything tangible to support that contention, it's nothing more than something you thought of. With the grading and encapsulation operation moving into Beckett corporate space in Dallas in two weeks, there's plenty of tangible evidence that they fully intend to go into the comic book grading business.
