If they won't guarantee a signature they authenticated, then what good is the flip?

Why not just put the sig/card in a toploader, tape it shut, and put either a big smiley face or frowny face sticker on it and call it a day? Save yourself the grading fee, postage both ways and the long wait.

Hey wait a minute, I think I might start selling these 'grade-the-card/sig yourself' kits to the collecting public. Mark it, this is my public disclosure and the basis of my patent application and business plan.
