Do they have MK and ST qualifiers over there too?

And maybe they need to put "evidence of trimming" on the slab too?

So maybe 30 seconds.

They first need to make sure it is authentic, hopefully.

Good point. 10 mins, bare minimum.

In the end, you can list it on the BST for double of comps….and watch it sit for weeks with no activity. Seems like that’s the norm for a select few on here. Just saying….

There is truth in that, plenty of people seem to think their mangled Goudey Ruth (or insert other hot mess card) is still a $5k (or other dream price) card. They’re still great cards, but greedy greedy greedy.

If they can't tell that almost instantly with the card in hand, they shouldn't be grading.
The typing it into the computer would take me more time.

Yep. I can envision the job ad.

"Grader wanted. Must be able to instantly detect fake cards."

The Fee is also based on the value of the card.
If you declare the value of your card at the Lower level and it gets lost or damaged, You will only get reimbursed for that amount.
I have only been up charged once on a Card that I submitted for Grading .
It came back a higher Grade than I expected and was Happy to pay the Higher Fee as the Grade given doubled the value of my card .

With Goudeys and most prewar cards it's that easy.
I once bought a card that was a convincing reprint in a scan and being sold as a reprint.
In hand, it was pretty much instant that it was a reprint as advertised.
