Sounds like a Springsteen hit.

As a watcher of vintage horror movies (ala Bela Lugosi), it makes me wonder what kind of unholy, unearthly lab experiment would produce a human born to be a grader.

Very few people actually know that the original title of Springsteen's 1975 breakout hit was "Born to Grade." Who would have known he was a card geek when he was young?

Was "Grading in the Dark" about PSA, SGC, or both?

Instead of people just dogging ISA, can we get some opinions from people who have actually dealt with the company?

My favorite album, "Gradings from Asbury Park, NJ."

Mr. Mize,

For all I know, ISA could be a great company.

The thing is, it may impact the value of your card if it is in an ISA holder as oppose to PSA or SGC. For example, I have bought a few cards over the years by grading companies other than PSA and SGC, and on more than one occasion, they turned out to be altered.

In other words, I personally will always be a bit skeptical now due to my personal experience, and therefore would almost automatically pay less for a card graded by a company that is not PSA or SGC.

Still, I suppose we now know that no company is 100% perfect.

Still not getting any "personal experiences" yet. Again, I'm very interested to hear from people who have personally dealt with ISA!

Don't particularly care for any of the grading company's but there is absolutely nothing wrong with good old fashioned competition in the business world . The collectors will be the final judge of who has quality grading at a fair price. All the money I saved on sending cards in for grading I spent on more actual cards rather than on hard plastic case and typed labels . Learn to grade for your self! Brett

Just browsed ebay and noticed the high end stuff but there were "authentic/altered" cards and other lower grade ones as well, all of which seemed consistent. The high end was very nice by the way, possibly ringers to attract attention. Looks pretty good so far. If done the right way, they can compete, and I noticed known advertizers on their site, along with probstein (?) selling some high end card.

P.S: they'll advertize here if they have any sense.
