You cannot determine a grading company's ability by a dozen or so cards. Substance over form. You may have liked their grading report but to give them top grading company honors based on your very limited exposure to them shows your inexperience in the hobby.

Bruce is exactly right about CTA. They seemed to have lack the ability to determine if a card was altered. I would modify what you wrote about them to say that if you see a CTA card graded an 8 it is a true CTA 8 in my opinion. (LOL).

My guess is that CTA stood for Can't Tell Alterations.
