I would be upset too if I was in the registry game. Especially with the time and money you’ve used to accumulate past and present pieces. There’s absolutely no reason not to grade them. They’ve graded paper cutouts before and the Martin cards are certainly cards and genuine. I’d keep trying and maybe contact the top dog if you can get ahold of him. Hopefully something turns up on the way the Martin cards were distributed. Wish we had some old Martin plant newsletters.
