Posted By: <b>Phil Garry</b><p>This past week, I submitted a PM10 Stadium Pin to GAI for grading and was very pleased with the finished product and service. I utilized the 2-business day service level and the pin arrived on time and Mike Baker was very accomodating in discussing the reason for the assigned grade over the phone. Brennan in customer service did a great job with the shipping and receiving of my item. I will certainly do mmore business with GAI in the future as it appears that major improvements have taken place over there.

Posted By: <b>Greg Theberge</b><p>Instead of a professional grading service, I use my wife to grade my pins.<br /><br />They're usually come in one out of three grades:<br /><br />Grade 1. Isn't that nice (with eyes rolled)<br />Grade 2. What did you pay for that? I'm going shopping.<br />Grade 3. Are you freakin' Nuts???? Usually followed by long bouts of silence to elicit feelings of guilt and remorse.<br /><br />Meanwhile, the pins are encapsulated in a sealed package to keep them safe for the generations. It vaguely looks like a glass case, but allows the pins to breath thus allowing them the opportunity to gather the same type of dust on them that they have for 90 or so years (but I think they're happy)<br /><br />I wonder if pins and cards feel the same way that women felt about brassiers in the early seventies...<br /><br />I'm only bustin', to each their own<br /><img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>
