So lately I've been previewing cards for a bunch of folks....even crossed over to the dorks over at BGS from word of mouth and other places. A few finally said, you might as well just DO IT! Ok, so I did it. The mirror shine metallic flip doesn't scan well to show off it's true beauty, but this is what I'm doing while trapped at home. Criticisms and laughter welcome.

    You've always had one of the best eyes in the biz and always knew how to adjust. Good luck!

    Bryan - Good to see you around these parts!

    Countless great businesses are criticized and laughed at, my brother.

    One thing that I've learned from you and others here, is to buy the card, not the holder. I'd have no problem buying a card that you graded.

    If grading for PC and not resale, I'd use your service without hesitation. One of the best sets of eyes in the game!

    Take care!

    Thanks

    Hiya Bryan

    What a great way to "use" your time buddy!

    I would guess "all" the grading companies started with a flip and a dream - so I wish you all the best.

    Question: how are you sealing the holders? I believe the grading companies use a sonic welder?

    Hi Mike. Hope you're doing well.
    I have a sonic welder; horns and air compressor. Had it for years.
    I'm having a blast.
