Default What's IGA?
Happened to check out the Probstein auctions on eBay and noticed that some of his cards were graded by an IGA card grading company. Does anyone know anything about them?

Thanks,
Scott

IGA is a grocery store I remember from my youth. They are probably as qualified to grade cards as the other clowns.

This forum is almost 15 years old. There are almost no 3-letter acronyms still available for an enterprising grading company that we haven't seen before.

does ISA suck? (from 2010... yeah, they did then and they do now)

BRGS, the grading company with an acronym that led to 'Hee Haw' jokes

CSA is not KSA, or is it? Are Canadians involved?

Wait, it's KSA! They're the Canadians!

AAA grading. From Hawaiian book-destroying criminal Roy Huff.

I think "XYZ", "PDQ" and "WTF" are still unused. Probably better that you start an auction house.

I would agree that they all give the same quality of product but one of them has sheeple lining up to pay a huge premium for their magic plastic holders.

If there ever is a "WTF" grading company I would have them grade some cards just for the flip.

You pretty much nailed it, Bill. I think you forgot the newest internet grading company though, OMG Grading.

Independent Grocers Association has been around since the early part of the 20th Century. It is strong in Illinois,Indiana Ohio and Fl. but fading fast in Wisconsin. Maybe they had to "diversify" to hang on. Express on site card grading while you shop!!
