Default ISA Grading

In another forum, saw a lot of discussion about ISA Grading. Has anyone used it? Thoughts?

Read up about the owner...however with that said the owners of a few other grading companies are not much better and people use them.

I believe there are discussions about Mr. Koonce on Blowout. He is also all over YouTube.

Not really interested in ISA at all - I do believe they are more popular in Canada tho.

Here's the rub directly from their grading scale :

An ISA 7 may have weak corners. Much of the original gloss of the card is maintained, but the surface of the card may be worn some. An ISA 7 could have staining on the reverse of the card. It’s possible that the card will be slightly out of focus or suffer from print dots. An ISA 7 is centered at least 75/25 on the front and 90/10 on the back

That and the fact that they dont look anywhere close to having the collector acceptance of a PSA or SGC or BVG or even CSG.

IMHO

I am not interested in the smaller, start up grading companies. There are already too many with the big 4...

And a card from the only grading company I will submit to, currently...

I do appreciate how CSG handles and protects oddly-sized cards

Fun fact: ISA has been around for 10+ years. No one cares about them which is why they are grouped in with random startup companies like HGA, FCG etc

Don’t ask the owner why none of his collection is in ISA holders either. You won’t get a legit answer.

Well, Leon, they graded that card accurately.
