    The best was Snaggletooth grading.
    I am actively buying MIKE SCHMIDT gem mint baseball cards. Also looking for any 19th century cabinets of Philadephia Nationals. Please PM with additional details.

    They mean, unless it says "PSA," stay away like the plague.

    Most mean, "Even though we know squat about authenticating cards, for a nominal fee we'll put your card in a plastic holder with a label that we hope will increase the value of the card".

    Some of them even mean "Even though we know squat about authenticating cards, we'll put our own card in a plastic holder with a label that we hope will increase the value of the card."

    there was recently another thread about this exact topic, very funny.

    Alot of people have very funny examples of GRA 10 cards (do they even make a GRA 9??) that are so off kilter its a joke to see in the case.

    very funny
