Grading Companies -- strange thought

[Rich Klein]

Has anyone ever attempted to collect a type card from all grading companies past and present and then tried to go even further by looking for different labels from some of those companies. I would love to see a thread where all the different companies and the lables thereof are posted

Perhaps a similar track - I saw a guy on a baseball discussion board who was collecting the 89 Griffey in all grades - 1, 1.5, 2 etc. Sadly, all were PSA.

Yes I have. Sold off most of them in the last couple years. I kept the oddball PSA slabs that are from specific events and I have the 5th and 7th cards ever graded by Beckett in testing.

I also used to collect flip errors. I still have a PSA slab that lists the wrong card.LOL

MIA...... cards lost/ never received
SOL..... declares Chapter 7 right after getting your stuff, owners in jail

If I remember correctly there was another SCD (Sports Cards Direct?) after Sports Collectors Digest went out of business.

Lets see if this post is as strange as my last post. I capitalized the letters when I typed them but in my post they're all lower case. It even changed Peters post that I quoted to all lower case letters.

I've heard some positive things about TAG
Though haven't seen a slab up close & personal
Their flip is not a sticker or paper inside the slab, its printed in the slab & clear

There was company founded by a member here called verisleeve. Maybe labeled itself VSA?
