Grade My Cards .com What a PATHETIC JOKE of a service!

Look at this card. I won it in an auction. All of the Fleer hoop cards have ink or pencil erased from the front and all are graded 4 or higher by this retard. You be the judge, if you are selling, I guess this brain child is the answer, if you are buying, avoid this grading company like the PLAGUE!




When I asked him if he would stand behind his product, he told me what I could do sexually with my mother and father and said he worked for PSA for 4 years. I will be filing a better business bureau report and writing PSA to let them know that this idiot is using them to endorse his company. Dan - darby-s

SGC, PSA, perhaps GAI. If the card is in any other holder, there's a reason.

I actually think the use of fake grading companies is a serious problem that enables a huge chunk of scammers to get away with fraud in their Ebay Auctions. Since the suggestion is that a third party has evaluated the card, given it a distinct serial number, and authenticated it, I do think there's liability beyond just poor feedback on Ebay.

There are middle of the road grading companies (I guess GEM would be an example) but this thing with Sellers making up their own grading companies to sell Sports Illustrated cut outs, or make cards out of old sports magazine photos really needs to stop.

I'm pretty sure this isn't really a grading company. I beleive this company lets you send in your cards, and specify what grade you want on the holder. Thats why it's called ' (I) Grade My Cards' ,basically. They just provide a holdering service, and stick a numerical grade on the slab for the individual.

Beyond PSA, SGC and GAI, I think BVG does a good job, too. I would hate to see them lumped-in with the likes of this "grade my cards" outfit and PRO.

Also, this joker probably did work for PSA--he just didn't tell you that the PSA he worked for is the defunct airline.

Maybe the PSA that he worked for was "Professional Scam Artists"...

Which begs the question, what exactly does one have to do to be a grader at any of the legit companies?

Do they have a training program, require experience, special training?

What do they pay?

Do you need a GED, Associates degree, where do they hire graders from?

You should see the language I am getting in emails due to this post. Too funny! This has got to be some young punk kid grading this junk.

Dang Mary Wilson of Heart and Gracie Slick of Jefferson Airplane still look great, I guess all those things they told me about drugs and how they would age you, when I was young, were wrong!

that grace slick picture is at LEAST 15 years old (check out how much the guy has changed) and if he really were a fan, he would have mentioned that the wonam from heart was actually Nancy Wilson (the skinny guitar player and Singer Ann's sister) there is no mary wilson in heart, Mary Wilson was in the Supremes (original member). Notice how one of the Mary Wilson's is Black? Yeah she's not in heart... i promise... lol...

Russ- you are right, not Mary Wilson. d'oh. I wonder how old that picture is. Speaking of Gracie Slick, she was the first woman I knew who openly admitted that she never wore panties. Kind of shocking back in the late 60's and early 70's even in the days of the hippies and free love...
