I know the cost is gonna be high for a majority of the software and the scanner to be built properly. I have been looking into this for a while now. I want to be able to provide a reasonable service at a reasonable fee that will give the hobby some peace of mind in what they are buying. Embossing the "flip" eliminates counterfeiting for that case. The cert number will be linked to large high res scans for viewing with the identifiers. The cases are going to be made of lexan which is a truly tough plastic and is hard to crack and scratch. The case will be put together in a different manner also virtually eliminating cards being cracked out without us doing it.
Every card made has its own identifying marks. Even the new shiny stuff. The program is designed to find all these marks and flaws. People who cross over cards will get the accurate grade for the card. Some guys will not be happy but I think overall fair and accurate grading will prevail. I am not looking to make my return back in the first few yrs by gouging the hobby in fees. The business plan is to take time and be accurate. I'm not gonna grade a $1000000 card any faster than a $10 card. Some may not like this but I don't think it's fair to the normal collector that they have to wait longer because someone else has a ton of money. As the company grows there will probably be a service that allows faster grading and people that soley handle that while the other people concentrate on the regular submissions. Labeling of errors and such shouldn't cost $75+. Maybe a few extra buck for the line would be fine but not that much. I don't want to take advantage of the hobby but make it a safer place. If any of you know me you know I have quite a passion for the hobby and am not afraid to call BS. Sometimes I'm wrong but sometimes I'm not. I want my kids to enjoy this and their kids to do the same for as long a there are cards available.
