The guys there are good to deal with over the phone but the caveat is that they do not have the cards in front of them so they can't answer questions. Their cards are graded old old school, i.e. writing on the back doesn't affect the condition of the card otherwise. If you stick with a minimum vgex or ex, you usually get nice cards, if you tell them you don't want a card if it has writing on the back they'll check that for you. Lower than vgex is a crap shoot. The guys there are very cordial and nice to deal with and they have a great return policy.
One more caveat, avoid the "About" grades, as in "Abt VG" or "Abt EX" this usually means the card looks Very Good or looks Excellent except for something noticeably wrong. Not always, but sometimes. I got an Abt EX card which I kept because the price was great and it was very scarce. The card was almost NRMT (otherwise) but had paper loss on the front.
