choice of grading companies

Interesting data on the ROI. I don't think most dudes look at it that way, but they should.

The question wasn't how to get rich selling baseball cards. I am a collector, not a dealer, as I said.

I believe Ford and Toyota earn more profit than Ferrari and Maserati, and the last time i checked, their cars sell for less.

The number of folks (buyer pool) for a $100,000 baseball card is quite limited. When you go to sell a $100,000 card, you better hope that one of those buyers is interested.

Getting sick of PSA turnarounds getting longer and longer to show up in the system. But sick of SGC sending back cards with just an "A" no grading.

I agree, it should at least have an explanation as to why, but in light of some recent (amongst the past ones) PSA shenanigans, I think it is a safe(r) bet to stick with SGC.

If you request no "A" slabbing you get a slip with the reason. I'm not sure why they can't include that with an "A" slabbed card, but that's how it works.

Also, if you're tired of getting "A" slabbed cards stop sending in altered or way outside of spec cards.
