Kevin Saucier"So did you take the grader's test and if so, what were your results?"
No, wouldn't even consider it. Taking a day off work for no reason would be a waste of time. No harm or disrespect intended.
For what it's worth, Mike Baker kinda' tested me informally, just for kicks. He stated I did as well as any senior grader. Of course I took a couple mintes per card, which is too long IMO. Grading is very subjective.

Being aware that you are in essence starting up a new grading company of your own, if I can get altered cards past you, then you will have no choice but to hire me as a senior grader - right?
huh? You're way off base. I'm not starting any grading company. Haven't started anything yet. I alter cards and study the results to help other collectors. Getting an example past a grader just validates the need for improvement in the hobby.
I'm no PSA hater, most of my collection is unaltered and in PSA holders, if not raw. It's my understanding a few of their senior graders are very respected with great personalities.
