verisleeve grading

[vintagebaseball]

Hello, I was searching on ebay for e90-1's and came across some that had been graded by a company called verisleeve. Has anyone heard of this grading company and is it to be trusted? here is the link to the grading service http://verisleeve.com/

They must have literally just opened shop. I am not sure what their program is, but it seems they cater to lower grade cards?

"Finally there's an affordable service to have off grade and lower value cards encapsulated along with your most prized collectibles. Verisleeve encapsulation provides protection and ensures the authenticity of your cards."

I would always err on the side of caution when we aren't talking about the Top 3 or 4 grading companies.

EDITED TO ADD: I saw in their pop report they graded an N172 Tim Keefe (A).....geez

Never heard of it, but the holders appear to be like a card saver with a label over the opening. According to the site "With Verisleeve's tamper proof labeling system, its virtually impossible for a label to be removed and reused in an effort to deceive a collector". If it's only virtually impossible to remove the label, odds are somebody will find a way.

Suffice to say, that seller's testimonials about Verisleeve should not be considered entirely objective.

The seller (who is selling all Verisleeve graded cards) is located in Boynton Beach, FL. Verisleeve is located in Boynton Beach, FL. I'm guessing either there's a connection or he's really pulling hard for the hometown grading service.

The label can't be removed without shredding, but the card can be switched?

This seems an ideal opportunity for the board member who started this service to advertise their new product and address these questions.

I know I've at least heard of Mr. Koonce.

Has anyone seen any of the cards yet? I know I won't buy, without first seeing in person, but I was wondering if anyone has seen any of these yet?

Nice to know the label can't be removed, but a more pertinent question would be can they detect altered cards, and do they know how to grade?
