The only thing I was going to ask Mr. Sloate was what he thought of ISA, that's it! I'm not an idiot, a troll or whatever else people are calling me on this thread, just a newbie!

That wasn't the question you asked when you emailed me. You wanted me to hook you up with a dealer who might be able to get you higher grades with PSA. That wasn't even ethical IMO, especially since we have never spoken before today. I understand you are new to the board and if you have questions of any kind feel free to post them here. But you were sending out an awful lot of PM's to people who were complete strangers to you.

From the other thread, that might be Rick Probstein.

That's what he was looking for Peter. He wanted to know if he could be put in touch with a dealer who had connections at PSA so his cards could get special attention. I of course have no relationship with PSA and am not involved in the business any longer. I thought that was a bold favor to ask to a complete stranger, and without even giving me his name when I requested it.

Perhaps he should try this dealer -- 37,000 PSA 10s!!

65,000 total cards. Staggering. By some crude math, his cards would go all the way around a quarter mile track, or be nearly as high as the Empire State building.

EDIT TO ADD It's been pointed out to me that my search for "PSA 10" includes a number of items that are not PSA 10s, but items where both PSA and 10 appear in the title. Still he has a lot of PSA 10s.

I would guess If graded by PSA, SGC, or BVG those would grade 7s.

Finally, someone helpful and not offended by my very simple question. Can you please go into more detail as to why you think that? I would appreciate it!

centering alone. Tough to see the corners but they arent centered that well especially the mays. Ryan looks a little off to me so not sure if it will grade at all by one of the other 3 grading companies.

That's really insane. Man, would I like to question Joe Orlando in a grand jury.

What if he hired you first?

Then I guess I would have a lot of PSA 10 cards. That would really help me to enjoy the hobby.

That is amazing.

Went through page 1 of 188 only and saw only 2 that weren't graded PSA 10. 4 Sharp Corners. Bet you those 2 ISA graded cards are in that 188 pages somewhere graded via PSA.
