I was looking through a recent tuff stuff, and there was this full page ad for a new company's autograph authenticating and grading(?!?) services. They spent the whole ad talking about their space-age holders and ultra-modern numbering system-- but forgot to mention anything about their ability to authenticate and autograph. |

Personally, I think its too early to render a verdict on Grade Tech. In the meantime, I'm staying away and will continue to walk hand in hand with SGC for any vintage card dealings. In my opinion, nobody is more trustworthy, although like a previous post stated, no one is immune to mistakes, they just make far fewer. |

.....but until i see improvement from them i will stay away from their cards. Thats not really saying much because theres very few companies that i would buy cards graded by them,over the internet.Any others i would have to see them in person first and would go by my own judgement and not theirs. |

To me, telling a fake t206 from a reprint is extremely easy. There are a few very simple clues that are no-brainers. This one fails the easiest: does it LOOK fake? But once past that, the seller and authenticator should have noticed that the print was in black, not brown. Then there's the matter of no border around the picture, and, finally, if all fails, get out a 10x and compare to REAL commons. |

Naturally there are going to be exceptions, but, in general, the older the print or photograph (or trading card), the easier it is to authenticate. This is because the older items were almost always made with obsolete processes and materials, and will have qualities that are nearing impossible to mimick in modern times. |

I guess my point is that if someone gave me a T214 and asked me if it was real, I'd have a hard time, because I don't own any. There are a zillion of these issues and they all have their eccentricities. |

Hey Brian, What are you doing with a "pile of restored cards". I know, you won them on e-bay not knowing they were restored or did you restore them yourself. Hmm. That's as bad as grading a reprint card. I guess you won't be applying for that job. |

There are, give or take a few, 524 cards in the t206 set, easily the most widely traded pre-wwI card set. This Mathewson reprint did not come from one of the other, less common sets that you refer to. |

those guys would hire me in an instant to show them how to do their job! Having restored 4000 paintings i think they would be all ears and eyes! And being as SGC told me i did the best restoration work they have ever seen would go far for me as well...You like that? Thing is, I do not need the job! Maybe you should look on my feedback file! I AM NOT EVEN REGISTERED AS A SELLER*** I have only purchased cards thorigh my account....I do not sell !!!! |

I agree with you, Scott. T206s are the 'Grading 101' of Pre-WWI cards, only in part because they are so plentiful. If you can't identify these cards, it's probably not a smart thing to start up a grading company, no matter how space-age your holders. |

Obviously Grade Tech has a way to go in the vintage card department, but it looks like they are making an effort by asking if anyone is interested in there Vintage card expert. |
