BCS Grading, Legit Company?

[McMahonFan]

Working on a trade right now with a guy for a 9.5 BCG graded card(not Beckett in any way), it's graded by a company called "BEST CARD Grading"(or BCG for short-Not Beckett).

Admittedly, I know NOTHING about it's legitimacy as a grading company and frankly, have never heard of it outside of today.

It's an auto of a very popular hofer, but again the grading company scares me and makes me a bit nervous, does anyone here know anything about them?

I did a little research and it says they're out of business(at least that's the info I saw online), so my question is: Should I be hesitant on this, still make a deal, or say thanks anyways and walk away? I'm familiar with the biggies: PSA/BGS/GAI/SGC etc, just never heard of this "BCG" grading company.

Thanks for listening and your opinions.

Sorry, Company is "BCG"(not BCS).

Is it a certified autograph from a company like Upper Deck or did Best Card Grading take an in person autograph and say it was real? Either way if you name yourself Best Card Grading you are pretty much asking people not to take you seriously.

Lol. It's a signed 94 Fleer Ultra Barry Sanders card. Not sure if it's certified or not. Said the same thing when I saw the name too, lol

I'm waiting for him to send me pics of the front and back and I'll post them here, and you all can let me know if it's legit.

Probably the best advice would be to post this in the football card talk forum with the image since the Barry Sanders collectors can tell you if his signature ever looked like that or not. I'm not familiar with what a 1994 autograph of his could possibly look like so I'm the wrong guy to ask but it isn't a certified autograph from Ultra so it was either TTM, IP or is fake.

Thanks... I'm thinking the same thing bud. I passed on it
