Does Beckett Just Randomly Assign Value Sometimes?

[centrehice]

Beckett has a secret stash of millions of cards covering the 4 major Sports.

When they need to dump these cards onto the market, they inflate the BV. Once they have had their large profit, they arrow down the cards to the point of embarrassment.

I read a blog once that Beckett made well over 2 million dollars on dumping Paul Kariya cards alone. Don't know how true this is, but I know they've done it for years with Baseball cards.

Watch when a player retires, Beckett waits exactly 3 years to the day, then downgrades that players cards. Gives them time to get rid of their inventories.

A little over a year ago, Beckett Downgraded some Patrick Roy and Steve Yzerman cards by over 40%, others by a healthy 25-30%. Ironic? Lol...... both players cards are exactly the same price. A little too convenient for my liking.

Crooks first and foremost.

I've suspected that Beckett hasn't actually looked at prices things sell for in years. They just use a forumla.

Some algorithim of Player / Set tells them (roughly) what the cards should sell for.

Pretty much. Still sometimes from year to year with the same set/player the price were way off.
