ISA Graders?

[CMIZ5290]

There are a couple of extremely high profile cards (extremely high) up on Ebay right now with Sellers that have a ton of history and success. Who is this company? One of these cards looks overwhelmingly trimmed to me, not even close..

Which cards?

I searched "ISA graded" and found a bunch of cards on eBay - looked like modern cards, mostly baseball and at least 1 football - ironically the seller had "psa" in their eBay name. A google search also showed this was discussed in threads like this: http://forums.collectors.com/message...y&keyword1=isa

Could be wrong but that card looks a tad short and too neat to me.

Brian Drent from mile high cards is on board the ISA train, he gives them a glowing testimonial, so the more competition, the better.

Plus I have never seen a 9 with such a bad looking bottom edge.

If anyone wants to play the high grade game I would suggest staying with a company whose "holder" sells. I don't think ISA is one of them.

This one too

I think if a new TPG had a case that is tamper resistant and stacks well with PSA and SGC cases would have a good start.

Then build the brand through networking and advertising.

A registry as polished as PSA that counts cards in other slabs would be ideal too. Maybe a small $1 fee for different slabs, so they don't become just a registry.

Honestly if I had the capital I strongly feel I could compete in the TPG market.

yeah those ideas work........even with the capital i just think the way the hobby is going its not worth it...if the hobby was growing and growing i really do like working all the companies together


Coleco Vistion system took Atari and Intellivision cartridges...but they still not do well..but i liked that idea too....donkey kong was good though
