Barry I'm not sure I fully understand your point regarding just authenticating. The major graders do that and grade the card. I agree the authentication part is as valuable as the grading part. However with that said i have seen many (in all holders) overgraded and undergraded too. How many times have we cracked and submitted a card and got two different results? As long as they are in the ballpark I have no problem, it is when cards have issues (centering, marks etc) that I need to really check a card out. A card with a small pencil mark on the reverse will be IMO nicer then one where the marks creat a mustouche<sp> on the players face.

As for the registry I have a few sets on the registry and basically use it soley as a checklist and as a way to exhibit the cards too via a picture.

By the way, Dave glad you got your MO from GAI.

maybe I can get them to cover the cost of the 1955 1st graded Spahn in 7.5 I cracked out of the case and resubmitted to PSA that came back trimmed?
