Topic #4



At the risk of opening a monumental can of worms. I’m going to touch on a touchy subject. Graded cards and the companies (reputable) that grade them. If I could have one little request, I would like to see this topic not turn into passionate rants about bad experiences or mistakes that have been made if possible. I’ve seen some of those posts in the past(wow). So I’ll keep it simple in the question form. I am really curious to your views on the following questions. But if you have to rant go right ahead free country! And as always heated discussions are welcome.



1.)Which of three major companies do you use and trust the most and why?

2.)Which of the above companies seems to have better resale if any in your opinion?

3.)Do you feel graded cards have had a positive or negative effect on our hobby?

4.)Do you feel ultra high-end mega buck cards are a sound investment, or overpriced hype and marketing?

5.)Does having your cards graded always assure you better profits when selling vs. non-graded?

6.)Which of the above companies is the most consistent in there grading in your opinion?

7.)Do you feel any of the above companies are biased or give special treatment and considerations to larger customers of there’s. As compared to the avg. consumer?

8.)Do you ever feel graded cards and companies will go away or will they become even more prominent in our hobby?

Also if you can’t tell I had to kill some time this morning while I wait for this conference call.
