What's IGA?

[Scocs]

Happened to check out the Probstein auctions on eBay and noticed that some of his cards were graded by an IGA card grading company. Does anyone know anything about them?

Thanks,
Scott

Do you mean ISA? http://www.isagrading.com/index.php

[Scocs]

Yes, I have never heard of them....

SGC, yes.
PSA, yes.
Beckett, yes.
GAI, cough, cough.

But IGA, help!

IGA is a grocery store I remember from my youth. They are probably as qualified to grade cards as the other clowns.

This forum is almost 15 years old. There are almost no 3-letter acronyms still available for an enterprising grading company that we haven't seen before.

I think "XYZ", "PDQ" and "WTF" are still unused. Probably better that you start an auction house.

I would agree that they all give the same quality of product but one of them has sheeple lining up to pay a huge premium for their magic plastic holders.

If there ever is a "WTF" grading company I would have them grade some cards just for the flip.:p

[glynparson]

Comparing Psa or sgc to iSA is just plain stupid.

[glynparson]

There is altered stuff in all holders but there is far more in the fly by night company holders than there are percentage wise in Psa or sgc holders. Everyone knew the Wagner was trimmed.

[Leon]

You pretty much nailed it, Bill. I think you forgot the newest internet grading company though, OMG Grading.

I still have an IGA in my town. I'll have to take some cards over to have them graded.

Independent Grocers Association has been around since the early part of the 20th Century. It is strong in Illinois,Indiana Ohio and Fl. but fading fast in Wisconsin. Maybe they had to "diversify" to hang on. Express on site card grading while you shop!!

Drop them off at the deli and take a number. All cards will be trimmed to the size you desire, no extra charge.

IGA was much more fun.

[bnorth]

I agree with Leon IGA was much more fun.:)

Glyn Parson seems to know a lot about PSA so I would go with his 2 posts. He says it is stupid to compare ISA to PSA and that everyone knew the T206 Wagner was trimmed.

Now from that I get ISA is a stand up company that would not give preferential grades no matter who submitted it. Just my take and I could be wrong.:rolleyes::eek:

I guess Dell makes a pretty strong piece... She last'd another 2 years.
Could of made fir a Grand Durability Commercial fir Dell ;)

As far as a couple more pages!? Although I was laughin & trippin at the same time when the Posts kept comin, I also thought that this was a New way ta High Jack a thread...
Unintentionally of course :)
