I'm quoting this in case you decided to edit out your denial that you effectively admitted was a lie only a few posts later.
On another note, your website mentions "snaps" and not "slabs". So I presume these are not sealed. Don't you understand the inherent problem with that?
Now i wonder of you're even going to the coin show, or was this all a marketing ploy? 🤔

You do not have the necessary qualifications to be grading coins. Your grades are 100% wrong. I'd recommend finding a local coin club or coin shop, a mentor, and time to devote to studying grading.

I seal them shut with a soldering gun
But they are aftermarket slabs, correct? So I buy some, bust out the rare coins from your slabs, put a lesser coin into the new snap and transfer your labels, and seal them with a soldering gun.

Sure it would. Your original label would be transfered to the new snap.

Like everyone here, I have read all and I am simply dumbfounded. I would like to believe that we have a 17 year old rockstar grader who is trying to start a business similar to the way Homerun Hall did, well sort of. But based on the young fella's answers I don't see anything close to HH. How can someone who is unable to grade even think for one moment to start a reputable grading service let a lone be honest with a single post
@FinnsCoin said:
Damn, are the third world holders really that bad. I have a pcgs account with 8 vouchers but just didn't want to send them in because of the ridiculous turnaround times right now. I would think that collectors would evaluate the coin itself rather than the holder.
Those holders are a huge red flag.
Break them out and sell them as raw coins.
This x100. I have seen many reputable dealers who sell mainly raw coins. However, most dealers, even who share tables, come with a few hundred coins ready to go.

If you ever want your slabbing company to catch on, you need to add little stickers to your slabs. That seems to be all the rage these days.
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

I checked put his site. He does offer a similar service.
If you don't have a table towards the entrance where the public enters, from experience, most don't venture past those first few tables. Those who do, you'll see them coming from a mile away. And if your selection isn't all that diversified, what you have on display, expect a very short, profitless visit. I think we made $4 on the sale of 2 Lincoln cents..
The 2nd year, our table was about a 3rd in from where we were. Same result especially when you're not as diversified covering many of the early series and having the rarer hard to find coins.
The most spectators we got were, as someone has said, were dealers from other tables and they didn't buy anything.

If I were to build a numismatic career path for a teen?
Go to college in Orlando, Los Angeles, Baltimore where multiple major shows are held.
Be in vicinity of multiple medium sized cities
Attend ANA seminars on grading and pass the Numismatic course
Join as many coin clubs as available within a days drive.
Work every show you can financially and physically attend
Network for six years
Finish college and seek a job at PCGS, NGC, ANACS, CGI or work for major dealer

To OP - Newsflash - Nobody I know of buys self slabbed coins these days. Your blowing in the wind. That little racket saw its day decades ago if it ever really did anything. Defunct lol. A shop might buy them (if they are real) at money that would work for them (melt?). Put them back in 2x2’s get your more expensive ones graded by our hosts.
You know what you paid for the better coins.If you expect any kind of return, send them in to a real grading service. Yes it will cost time and money, but you are asking PCGS/NGC price guide money for coins you have made up grades for. Your grading service has been around for less than two weeks. PCGS was not an overnight success and they started with world class dealers and graders. Go slow, learn, and don’t get into the business by taking advantage of people .

If I throw the $10 into my fireplace with a match instead, at least my coins will retain their value.
I'm considering sending a coin off for grading and slab. I might own one of the rarest slabs ever. Only 23 known to exist!

This thread is very entertaining.
I will say this, I'm impressed with the USB grading company's 'lightening fast' turnaround times. They have that going for them.

And what are your bona fides? We've already seen your FB dime. People want expert opinions.
And what are your guarantees?
Are the slabs sonically sealed so they can't be opened?
The point is not to simply pay someone else to snap them into a plastic holder.
While I applaud your initiative, lying to us repeatedly for days isn't the way to gain trust.
