You should presume that if it's in an ISA holder it couldn't get into a PSA or SGC holder, no matter how much the seller lies to the contrary.

Really? Not sticking up for ISA, I could care less, know nothing about them. Having said that, I bought an SBC graded T206 years ago for a dirt cheap price, the card was centered and looked great. The card crossed over to an SGC 96 at the National several years ago (Thanks SBassik). The lesson? Buy the freaking card, not the holder....

SBC was the direct predecessor of SGC. Possibly the first company to grade cards. Not a fly by night knockoff company.

Yes they were, but their graded cards are treated like they have the plague....

Also, having said that, I remember when GAI graded cards were blowing PSA cards out of the water when they first came out...

Very early GAI was good. No question. I don't know how it went so far south, although I have a guess.

I have successfully cracked an ISA 6 Bird Magic RC to a PSA 7.

It was my only experience with ISA so far.

Well Joe never cared about centering, and may not have been the best at spotting altered cards, but to the best of my knowledge he wasn't knowingly slabbing bad stuff or overgrading.

This sounds like there should be more to this post. Did you have a bad experience, or know folks that did, with ISA? Not saying you're wrong, but this is a pretty all or nothing statement about them.
