TomI collect a lot of different cabinets so I'd like to see them grade them but I think it's a matter of supply and demand. The standard 2.5x3.5 cards are so prevalent that PSA, SGC, etc can have the equipment pretty much standardized to handle large demand for that size. The vast majority of the cards in the SCD catalog fall into the normal sized holders or the larger holders for cards like exhibits, 64 Topps Giants. Unfortunately, Old Judge Cabinets, T3's, W600's and other 'standard' sized cabinet cards are lots bulkier and there just aren't as many out there. Who knows, maybe someone will belly up and do it down the road. I would think the cost to grade would have to be quite a bit higher to match demand to be able to pay for the equipment. On another note.....at this year's National, the wonderful folks at PRO were grading autographed 8x10's with a similar type of holder as the cards for the 8x10's so someone has the equipment out there. Don't feel too comfortable sending anything to them though!
