As If Beckett Grading(BGS) was not already a Joke

[wheeler281]

This, however, may take the cake.

Step 1: Buy a BGS 8.5 2005 Aaron Rodgers Gold Auto SPA 25/25 for $3200 -
2005 SP Authentic Gold Aaron Rodgers | eBay

Step 2: Crack out of holder

Step 3: Resubmit to BGS

Step 4: Get a BGS 9.5 2005 Aaron Rodgers Gold SPA Auto 25/25 back

Step 5: List on eBay: eBay -
New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices

Step 6: Profit

Any of you that are familiar with the Strasburg Joke of a grade know what I mean
Here is Becketts grading header with a few changes

The odd thing is that empire_collectibles are the 2nd and 3rd sellers of the same 25/25 card!

Totally embarrassing for BGS ....just verifies my reasoning to not give 2 squats about grading!! I just collect cards cause I like the card, or the player. ....I'll keep a dinged up card in my collection, what do I care...shoot, its not like you can retire on collecting these days anyways.
I could see getting an auto verified, or an older, possible repro graded for authenticity, but not for profit like these cats.... its the ugly side of the hobby, in my opinion.
