When ISA first came out the had ads placed in several hobby magazines and when I saw one I was floored by the mistakes in the copy. So much so that I actually kept an image of it.

There are four distinct errors in the ad they placed.

1. They failed to capitalize their own name: In the first sentence, they typed their name "international Sports Authentication".

2. They offer "expert grading, great rates, and quick turnaroudn".

3. They ensure a "tip-notch" grading relationship as opposed to a "top-notch" one.

4. When informing us of their location, they abbreviate Michigan as "Mi" instead of the proper state abbreviation method of "MI".

I knew back then that if they were this incompetent with their own ad, then they likely would be grading anything very well either.

At least that was my impression.

Sorry for the blurry image, it was the best I could do for now.
