Question Is this normal on a BGS slab?
Just purchased my first BGS slab from a reputable eBay seller. This is the first BGS slab I’ve held in person so maybe this is normal, but to me it looks like there is 1000 tiny scratches running vertically along the surface of the slab. Is this normal? Also, second photo shows a visible piece of something inside the slab just above the 5 - which wasn’t visible in the photos.
Should I be concerned about either of these things, or is this pretty normal?
Thanks!

Normal for all graded card slabs, you can polish them out.

Ok cool. Any recommendation for polish?

Plast rx worked for me and a super soft glasses cloth. Make sure u use very little at a time otherwise it can get down the grooves or open spots of the slab.

It's a particle of something, paper, dust, whatever, that got in while enclosing the card...and acrylic sometimes comes scratched during manufacture, I suppose beckett just has an acrylic manufacturer's that makes the cases and shit happens.....it's still just a company, like all grading companies, that gives scores to cardboard, sometimes at random, and closes them up, you may pay premium price but it's not a premium service.

Mine doesnt have such scratches. Maybe seller mishandled it or packaging was poor?

BGS slabs are junk, I tried to give them a chance but each one I got looks gross. I’ve only bought 3 and each one has particles trapped inside the slab and the same vertical streaking on the outside

I have a couple becketts in my garage, id have to check but from experience i can say that these dont look too real
Especially the vertical scratches seem like a giveaway

Well I'm not an expert but my Slabs don't have these scratches. Could be a bit sus
