I think the fact that none of the KSA cards came back as altered is something of a good sign though. I certainly wouldn't trust that you could duplicate that with a similar number of GAI graded cards.

Agreed, I bought a ksa gretzky 8.5 rc in a whim, hoping it was not trimmed.


Awaiting the results!

I cracked and crossed 20 GAI cards. All received numerical grades.

Grading by any company is a crapshoot at best ....

I bought 13 raw and trimmed cards at a National one time and 12 came back with numerical grades. It happens.

Canadian company with a decent reputation. they exist mainly because of the crazy expense of sending expensive packages across national borders.

I won one of those "grab bag" sort of lots in an REA auction a few years back. It included a bunch of trimmed T207s, so I didn't even price them into my bid. I sent them in and got back 5s and 6s. Crazy...

At last years Toronto Spring Expo, BMW was there as soon as you walked in the front door.
He had a huge amount of cards for sale, including many high end 52 Topps cards all graded by KSA?

I found this odd, especially since they are from Wisconsin, but thought maybe sending them north was cheaper than sending somewhere in their own Country?

I also thought, if he/they do the T.O. show frequently, then maybe they have cards set aside specially for the Expo?
