KSA Grading Company (Canada)

They told me corner(s), my guess is top left and possibly bottom right?

If I am unsuccessful in getting KSA to do anything with this, as expected, what are some thoughts regarding whether to cross over to PSA or SGC Authentic or leave in the KSA 1 holder. Which would bring greater value? I also realize that none of the major auction houses will likely run the card in the existing KSA holder so I would probably be on my own selling it and I would fully expect the first question coming from potential buyers is whether or not I have attempted to cross over.

At one point I considered sending cards to KSA...when there were no options for affordable grading with reasonable turn around times. I looked on eBay completed and active listings and saw it was basically one seller offering vintage KSA cards. https://www.ebay.com/usr/irishhosta?...75.m3561.l2559 Almost every card appeared small or had an irregular cut. In many instances cards had horrible centering but got very high grades too. I concluded KSA was the place where problem cards went.

KSA has been around for a long time. in my opinion, and it's just that, KSA has never established itself as a credible and significant competitor in the TPG space, even for hockey cards.

You haven’t been to Canada not true

Judging by the way the card sits in the holder, it looks trimmed at bottom.

I’m Canadian and KSA was notorious for giving grades to trimmed cards especially Gretzky rookies. Supposedly different since they changed ownership but was like that for a long time. It’s common knowledge and I know you know that

I would ask myself why anyone would have trimmed that card originally. It would have been a 1 before and it is still a 1. I know nothing about hockey cards but I have had issues with SGCs grading recently and my guess, and it is just a guess, is that the card is fine and the 1 grade is accurate.
