All after-market autographs must be submitted through Beckett Authentication Services to be authenticated. Once deemed authentic, the submitter can add on autograph and card grading. Autographs issued and certified by the manufacturer can be submitted directly to Beckett Grading for card and autograph grading.
Orders will be processed separately and shipped back as they are completed so you will be responsible for return shipping fees on each of the orders.

What is autograph authentication? How much does autograph authentication cost? How long does the authentication process take? Where do I send my autograph authentication orders? Beckett Grading Services will grade cards with "certified autographs". That is, cards issued by major manufacturers that carry additional design elements indicating the manufacturer has certified the autograph of the card.
The autograph itself will not be authenticated, but will be given a separate numerical grade based on the quality of the ink signature. In grading the autograph itself on a card, the key feature being examined is the production quality and clarity of the signature and other after-market ink, such as hand serial-numbering or inscriptions. The autograph subgrade will stand alone and play no part in determining the overall grade. Generally speaking, autograph flaws will only deduct from the autograph grade.
For example, a card that was signed and immediately smeared will get a lower grade on the autograph, but the surface will not be affected. An exception to this rule would be if the autograph flaw affects both the signature quality and the card itself; for instance, a signed cut that creases the surface and also smears the autograph.
The best rule of thumb is that any flaws related to the actual ink of the autograph will normally be deducted from the autograph grade, while other flaws generally are taken into account on the surface grade. Excess glue bleeding onto the cut is also counted against surface. If the flaw also damages the autograph itself, both the surface and autograph grade may be lowered. Stacking is the ability to enter multiple copies of the same card into a registry.
Once you have named your registry, you will need to check the box next to Enable Card Stacking. And remember, once you enable stacking, there is no way to disable this function.
Click on the Choose a Player or Set for this Registry button, and then pick your sport, player, set, etc and click Go! Select the set you wish to enter cards into, and begin entering your BGS serial numbers. Once you have enabled the card stacking feature for your registry, there is no way to disable this feature. There is no limit to the number of cards you can stack, as long as you are stacking the same exact card.
This will display all cards in your registry including those that are stacked. We offer this service at a number of shows that we attend across the US.
Fill out the submission form just like you would on your ungraded cards. If you do not require a minimum grade, you may write "No Minimum Grade" on the top of the form. Otherwise, please list next to the "Declared Value" area the "Minimum Grade" you would like on each card, or each line of the submission form. The minimum grade you list is what our graders will use to determine if the card you have submitted needs to be removed or not. If our graders are not confident that your minimum grade will be reached, it will not be removed from the original holder.
It will be returned to you with a note describing why the minimum grade was not reached. Cards must be listed on the submission form, with a minimum grade requested. Pricing for each review will depend on the service level selected. The review fee is the same price as the published grading fee, for each level.
If the minimum grade is reached, the card will be removed from the case and placed into a Beckett case at no additional fee. If the minimum grade is not reached, the card will be returned in the submitted holder. Select the service level turnaround time. When your cards are reviewed, any cards crossing over will be graded and processed under the turnaround time selected.
The reason for this is that if the minimum grade is reached, you will be charged additional fees for case removal and the standard grading fee. An invoice will be mailed back with the order to show you the exact fees you were charged. If the minimum grade is not reached, you will only be charged the review fee.
After your submission form is completed, please package your cards, the submission form, and a signed copy of the waiver form and send the cards to us. You may ship them through any service you would like, but we highly recommend you insure your cards. Additional Notes about the GCR Service: If a card appears to be altered, restored, counterfeit, etc, you will be charged the review fee and the card will be returned in the original holder along with an explanation.
