Sounds like a real kick in the shins.

Not real surprising considering they’re still relatively new, and the market doesn’t seem like it’s ready to accept their stuff just yet. That could always change in the future, but they don’t seem to be there yet.

In some ways, it’s a chicken/egg thing, because people won’t want to get their stuff graded there until the slabs are valued by the market, yet the market won’t buy in unless they’re more popular, and there’s a positive trend to get the party started.

I suspect the discount would have been smaller on mid grade stuff, particularly outside of a rookie card.
