Thank you. To clarify my earlier comment about grading, I need to clarify buying a graded card vs sending in a raw card.... If a card is slabbed PSA and is price right, I would buy it. But if I am going to pay someone to grade my card, I want the same grade regardless of whether its Randy Johnson or Randy Ready. Unfortunately, PSA has provenly failed in this regard. So I would not send a star card that might be a true 10, only to have it randomly called a 9.....I'd have zero faith in the accuracy, so what am I paying for? But if it's an existing card slabbed, I can judge whether or not I think it's a good buy for the price.
