warshawlawI bought a 1954 Williams that was really nice and readily crossed over to a PSA 7 holder. I bought a 1953 Bowman Spahn that was altered yet encapsulated by CSA. Their web site has a very prominent disclaimer of any warranties as to quality of service. I'd not spend a lot of $$ on a CSA-graded card unless I could look it over in person first.
I've got to think that any big-ticket card not in a PSA or SGC or BVG or GAI holder is suspect. Why would the owner bother to slab it with a 2nd rate company and leave all that cabbage on the table?
