Doug AllenFirst of all I would like to thank Jim Crandall for starting this thread. It has provided some very valuable diaglogue which is always productive.
I am getting ready to head out of town for the week (will be at the Reading show this weekend if anyone wants to stop by) so I thought before I left I would document action items I will take and report back on.
#1 I will get responses from both PSA and SGC and report back.
#2 I will document a definitive policy statement as to both what we will and will not do when it comes to getting cards graded. That is the main take away I get from this. Our customers deserve to know.
On a personal note I really appreciate all the positive e-mails I have gotten since this thread began. It is very gratifying. As a matter of fact it has been profitably as well since a couple have led to some really nice consignments! <Before anyone starts they are not cards with wrinkles or corners that need to be laid down...actually one is a fantastic rare pre war type card that we have only offered twice in our history and the other a nice mid grade pre-war consigment>
My only regret is Jim didn't invite me to see his collection ;-<
All the best,
Doug
