    Great reply Jeff...appreciate the info. I didn't realize ASA... "In-accugrade" is still in business. I still have a few altered cards that they graded as "Gemmint". Maybe I'll send 'em back to Hager.

    i heard a rumor that some of the other carding companies won't ever give you a non graded card back.... So you can send all your trimmed cards and such...Pretty PatheticMy Website

    Maybe it's me, but I would have some reservations sending in my cards to "Snaggletooth Grading". Doesn't leave a good image in my mind.

    Maybe it's just me... but does it seem that GangstaJayson just wants to promote My Website!

    It's funny you mention Hager, Mantlefan, because I have a Hager story. I met him at the National in Houston in I believe '94 and put down a deposit on some incredibly gorgeous T205s. Needless to say, when I sent him the balance, I never got the cards. Numerous phone calls to him were either ignored or answered with a "check's in the mail" B.S. Well at the National in Cleveland in '97, I looked him up, waited until he had several people at his table and then LOUDLY REQUESTED A REFUND. He scarely missed a beat as he whipped out a was of cash, forked over the amount I was demanding, and kept wheeling and dealing. I thought later that he must have screwed so many people, he just automatically believes someone who says he owes them money.

    Who is this Hager guy, and how do we avoid him?

    Straight from the Accugrade website iteself: ASA / Accugrade

    Mr. Hager, ASA-Accugrade's founder, is a noted authority on collectables, and has written (7) books on coins and sportscards, and dozens of price guides.
    In 1988 he copyrighted the 1 to 10 grading system for sportscards - today's universal standard.
    We patented the sportscard slab holder and Trademarked the arrowhead corner design, which is universally used by all services today.
    PSA-David Hall has paid $100,000 in Liscense Fees to use the Patented Holder, Copyrighted 1 to 10 grading standards, and Trademarked holders.
    ASA has licensed and set up 11 grading services worldwide.
    Since 1989 over 3,000,000 sportscards have been graded based on Mr. Hager's inventions.
