dstudebaAs has been discussed previously, some collectors have had Kevin review their cards for alteration when they weren't confident alterations were detected by themselves or third party grading services. Since I have very few high grade cards, and even some blatently trimmed cards in my collection that I enjoy, I have never previously thought of using the service.
Recently I had the opportunity to purchase a group of very nice 19th century cards. I was concerned about alterations, and wanted a second opinion despite the fact they were fresh to the hobby. In order to finalize the deal I would need to get back to the other party quickly. I called Kevin Thursday night, overnighted the cards to him Friday, had an informal opinion on Saturday, and a formal opinion on Sunday. I was very appreciative, it helped me greatly, and I would use him again if the opportunity arose.
