BTW, I once sold an ungraded postcard to another collector who promptly took it to one of the grading services to be slabbed. This grading service said they were unsure and would ask an expert to double-check it. Who did they ask?

Me.

They flagged me down at the show to ask me.

Of course it was real, but this clearly was not a professional way to conduct business.

Yes, I consider myself knowledgeable about postcards. But they should have a postcard expert on staff or under contract as a freelancer. And the expert should not be allowed to authenticate his own stuff or have a financial interest in the item!

This is no way to run a business. Either slab things the right away or don't slab any item in the category!
