T3 Grading

Back around the time of this years' National Convention, someone posted that PSA had announced that they were going to begin grading Turkey Red's and other similarly-sized cabinet cards. I havent heard anything about this since--did PSA scrap this plan? |

please view the SMR* for validation. I was the one who stated Charlie the customer service manager at the time of the National was going to display some of mine after grading mine for free. They had problems apparently with the plastic encap.machine but it is not up and rolling. |

I'm not trying to be disrespectful to anyone, but, unless PSA's holder is damn pretty, what's the point of getting a T3 graded? |

And don't say 'set registry' |

Probably because it provides a great holder for them. I would see it as more of a preservation thing, than a grading thing. |

But doesn't the mailing (assuming it's mailed, of course) risk more harm to the item than PSA's holder will potentially save? And if you've packaged it so well that there won't be any possible damage to the item during mailing, isn't it already protected well enough? |

I live in a big city, and perhaps it's a luxury others don't have, but I think of two small art & frame shops within walking distance of my home that would do a better preservation/framing job that a card grader. |

I realize that, in the end, that the answer of getting anything graded is more of than not 'the preservation (or realization) of $ (or owner's ego, as the case may be).' I suppose that those are as legitimate of answers, and far more honest, than most offered. |

Actually, I only asked because I was curious about what happened with regard to the whole situation... |

It would be nice is someone would come up with a nice-looking, custom plastic holder for the T3s--, though, offhand, that would seem unlikely due to the unique size and relative rarity of the cards. If GAI is any indication, what PSA comes up with ain't going to be easy on the eyes. |

I don't think its a bad idea -- it authenticates the cards etc. to have them graded and to some extent protects them. |

I must admit that I've never understood how the comic holders exactly work (can one remove the comic?), which is more of a comment on my ignorance than on the quality of such a holder. |

Brian, I'm not the youngest in my home, and am definitely the most childish. |
