ISA Grading Company?

[chris]

This topic has been discussed over on the PSA message boards. It is believed the ISA grading company is owned or operated by New England Sports Cards and/or 4 Sharp Corners on Ebay.

You've got auction companies "advertising" auctions which closed four months ago on ISA's site. My guess is that the schmuck that owns this company just grabbed some ads, threw them up on his site in an attempt to make it seem as if these auction companies endorse his product. Hard to imagine anyone would pay to advertise on this site. In fact, I'd be stunned if I am wrong, it appears to be a pretty obvious scam. I just can't believe that Goodwin and Memory Lane are not "advertisers" on the site. As for Legendary, I don't think they have three extra nickels to rub together let alone money pay to advertise on this site.

Did anyone check out their facebook page ?

I just checked it out real quick. Doesn't look like there is anyone over the age of 25 working there including the "president". Makes me feel old, and I am only 28!

Does any one recognize the owner? Seems like someone on CU knows who it is, but I have never heard the name.

The ISA principle is Jason Koontz (sic), who has been a large volume dealer for more than a decade.

I believe Jason also bought the "SCD" grading name a while back but this is going from memory and I could be wrong on that as well

I don't know Jason Koonce, but he has a lot of employees for a company with $0 revenue stream.

(I am willing to work with Customer Service and Shipping, however.)

Thank you Rich. I had never heard Jason's name in the same sentence with a TPG. With 12 years of experience I would have thought his name would have come up before.

4 sharp corners sells a ton of PSA material specifically... so if it is one of the two, I would expect it to be new england. But i have bought a ton from new england, always raw material however. if it was them wouldn't we expect their merchandise to be graded?
