KSA seems to be Canada's version of PSA, but their standards do not seem to be as high. I know for a fact that KSA grades sheet-cut cards (whether they know it or not lol), something that PSA does not do, and by my experience, when crossed over/cracked and sent to PSA, KSA graded cards usually come in about a grade lower. They are reputable but not as accurate as PSA or SGC imo.
storm - KSA is not gutter-tier. At one time, they were the predominant grader for Canadians - and they still hold a significant percentage of the hockey card market in Canada (mainly due to the fact that they're in Canada, and no customs fees have to be paid).

Hope that helps.
Thank you very much.
me how people can still fall for the gutter-tier grading
companies.
I have no inherent bias, BUT if the card is not in a PSA
holder, I really do not want to get stuck with trying to
unload it.
I do not mean that as a bash against the other good
grading companies, but buying PSA gives ME what I
consider the highest comfort-level.
