USA's claim to fame was back in the late 90's when they struck up an arrangement with a company which produced (and still does) minor league cards. They graded all of the companies autographed cards and game used type cards, authenticated by the manufacturer, which were inserted into boxes of cards -- two per box. Not really sure if they did a whole lot of other grading but I would stay clear of anything in a USA holder.

Don't believe the company made it more than a few years at most. Before 1999, I'd never heard of them and I don't believe they lasted through 2001.
