Safe to question every off brand grading company card of any significance.

There is a guy offering a Steve Garvey rookie on ebay, graded by some off brand grading Co and it is as close to a perfect grade as you could get. This thing has been relisted dozens of times. The guy regularly starts it at around $10K and quickly drops the price by 1/2 or more.

I read somewhere else that this particular company was known for grading trimmed cards. Don't recall where I saw this and I had never heard of the company, but I am suspect of the card either way. I don't know this to be a bad deal for sure, obviously, but it is just a gut feeling.

If you have a card that nice, why go to the generic brand when the known companies will net you much more attention and dollars. I suspect there can really be only 1 reasonable answer to that question...fake or altered.
