Save your money and put them in a toploader or grade in bulk with PSA. I would never expect a premium to be paid for a GMA graded card.

All these second tier companies overgrade IMO.

I've noticed the same thing. Seems like 9s are guaranteed so long as a crocodile didn't floss with your card.

Do you believe there is any room for another grading company?

Someone would need to offer a distinct advantage, either in terms of a technological advancement, or perhaps very well-known and respected graders.

Or how about one with standards that will not change, and one that guarantees accuracy the first time. A clear description of the process, and having multiple graders look at the card so that reviews are not necessary or even possible. That way a collector can sell a card graded a 7 confident that someone with more pull can't get it bumped to a 7.5 or an 8.

Do people really stay up late at night worrying about such matters?

Right..who cares what someone else can do....its only what you can do what matters.... you can sell a 7 for 1000 and someone else can sell that same card same holder for 5000....not going to lose sleep.

As for GMA or any other new third party graders...i think the key is to have really really cool holders.....then get to the other stuff ..
