I don't think anyone here thought of that, except for you. Why do you think someone would want their 53 Mantle graded by a company that no one recognizes as legitimate? Because they're rooting for the underdog, or because they want to help a new company succeed?

I am curious as to why you're defending them so much.

you could almost substitute grading companies with 'religions' and its the same thing...the only reason they get credit initially is market share and been there the longest..

real tough to start a new religion or a grading company...most will assume you would be nuts to do that....but if you were lucky enough to be in the beginning you become 'legitimate'

Well ISA's lack of a reputation certainly didn't scare a couple of people away from that 53 Mantle. Not much room for upside at that price unless it crosses to a PSA 8.

The bid pattern does look a little suspicious though.

I am not defending them from normal criticism, just abnormal criticism.

NO ONE finds them legitimate? really? no one? okay.

so auction report just wants to interview illegitimate graders i suppose.

Really? A four year old internet radio blog, that few people ever heard, is your criteria of legitimacy?
