My first experience with having cards graded was with SGC (several years ago) at the Ft Washington Show. I submitted a bunch of
pre-war cards and several 1949 Bowmans. The following day, when I went to pick up the cards, Derek came over to me and asked
me some very smart questions about certain aspects regarding the 1949 Bowmans. This really impressed me that Derek was seeking
added expertise in order to better perform his job. I left that initial meeting with Derek knowing he would be going on to bigger and
better things in this hobby.

Derek's attitude was quite refreshing. And, very contrary to a bad experience I had at the same show with the PSA guys, that per-
manently turned me off from ever dealing with PSA.
