Legal documents tied to the Greg Lindberg restitution case are revealing some fascinating new details about Beckett’s history — including how close CGC/Blackstone came to buying Beckett in 2022 and the reported price Collectors Universe ultimately paid in 2025.
In this video, I break down the proposed CGC + Beckett deal, the $800M–$1.1B valuation range being discussed, Beckett’s reported ~$29M in 2021 EBITDA, what Beckett wanted in return, and why the deal appears to have fallen apart.
Then we get into the biggest new revelation: court filings that reference a reported Beckett sale price of approximately $134 million when Collectors Universe acquired the company. We’ll also look at where the sale proceeds reportedly went and why comparing the 2022 valuation directly to the 2025 sale price may not be completely apples-to-apples.
This is not a simple “$1 billion company sold for $134 million” story — but the documents give us a much clearer look at what was happening behind the scenes at one of the hobby’s most recognizable brands.
Topics covered:
CGC + Beckett negotiations
Blackstone’s proposed deal
Beckett’s counteroffer
Beckett valuation and EBITDA
Why the CGC deal fell apart
Collectors Universe acquisition
Reported ~$134M sale price
Beckett debt and sale proceeds
