Yeah, unfortunately, I doubt anyone will start doing this soon. I would love it - in fact, no one would love it more than the grading companies probably, to have that database of information. But unless it actually brings in more revenue, companies just aren't likely to do this unless they increase rates to cover the additional expenses. Hopefully one day, though - I know I would love it!

A imagine it would take longer to write or type specific notes about each card that came through and therefore even less cost efficient, so, as a policy, I can't imagine any grading company doing that. As a special request, for a few cards here or there, it happens.
