PSA parent company Collectors reached an agreement to acquire grading competitor Beckett, the company announced Monday.
Beckett will remain an independent brand and continue to utilize its own operations, customer service, grading standards, marketplace, magazines and price guides, Collectors said.
“I am pleased to share that the iconic Beckett is joining the Collectors family and will continue to operate as its own independent brand within our portfolio,” Nat Turner, CEO of Collectors, said in a statement.
“The first card I ever submitted for grading was to Beckett, and I consider Collectors custodians of this important icon in the hobby. We believe that strong, well-supported brands help grow access to the hobby.”
Orders at PSA and Beckett are expected to be processed normally and there are expected to be no changes in pricing as part of the acquisition.
Beckett’s acquisition is the second time Collectors has acquired a major trading card grading competitor. Collectors acquired SGC in February 2024, and has since been in the process of transitioning it into a “boutique” grading brand.
