OMG! Here's how you start you own grading co.

I was surfing Ebay and ran across THIS! I guess I'm opening
up Pandora's box here because someone will probably do it LOL!

I'm really stoned right now, so I decided to call up the guy and
ask about these options. The owner's name of this company is Alan (all I got) and he was going over the 3 options with me. He'll sell you the holders for $1 each and you can seal them yourself; pending that you have the $8,000 welding machine needed to do this. Or you can grade them yourself and send him the cards with your company's logo/name and grade and they'll encapsulate it for you for $1.50 each (minimum of 500 cards). This is where I busted up laughing and hung up on him.

Do a search for GMA 10 on ebay and you'll see what their holders look like. It's funny that they're based in Florida and their holders look like PRO, Mint Grading, and the deceased USA holders. Interesting.

    Rather than using a GMA holder and fussing around with labels, it's easier to just write the grade in ink on the top of the card.
