2) You need a darn registry, giving folks more of a reason to buy your cards. If more cards are sold, better prices can be realized by sellers, causing more submissions ($$'s) to come your way.
3) Training in grading standards is a key. Be tough, be easy, I really don't care - just be CONSISTENT.
4) Lastly, many of us have been disenfranchised by PSA. We still buy cards in their holders, but love competition and options when spending hard earned money on fees.

This!
