PLANO, Texas, Jan. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Today Beckett, The Hobby's premier grading and authentication company, announced the long-term contract extension of the industry's most prominent authentication team. These agreements with Steve Grad, Brian Sobrero, Zach Rullo, Charlie Price and Larry Studebaker mean that Beckett's customers will continue to benefit from nearly a century's worth of collective authentication experience for years to come.

"Together we've spent 100 years authenticating for every major company in our industry alongside every trusted auction house,'' said Brian Sobrero, Beckett's Senior Principal Authenticator. "Our customers trust us to authenticate their most valued items, and their passion is why we continue to expand our impact across the memorabilia industry.''

Said Steve Grad, Senior Principal Authenticator: "My commitment to providing exceptional expertise and upholding the highest standards remains unwavering as I look forward to supporting the vibrant community of collectors and ensuring the integrity of their prized possessions."
