Not to pick out a certain auction but this card seems small. Are they the next breed of pro trying to make a few bucks before they go away or whats the deal?
There name makes me think of ISS when I was in middle school.

    Yeah, it might look a bit short, but only by a quarter inch or so. I don't think even PRO would have holdered this one.
    From what I can tell, 707 is the DOLLAR STORE compared to deans_cards. For what that guy charges, if I ever bought anything from him I would expect it to be delivered to me in a frickin' limo.

    But they did only give it a 7. Looks like an 8 if you grade just the corners and nothing else lol

    I think I heard they gave out some free gradings and holdered.

    Going up against PSA, SGC and Beckett? Well - I wish them luck.

    13 bids. People are stupid. I would say the card is worth $5

    At least with the black insert in the holder, it doesnt look that short. And it looks really really really really sharp for a 7

    It's perfectly centered 40-40.image

    I find that for cards that I am keeping in my PC (ie: 2001 SP Authentic SOTT) and just want secured in a holder then ISA is a good deal.

    ISA was offering one free grade with a voucher at the National. Also they were offering a $5 per card grade if you got more than 10 cards graded. I got a few cards graded by them since PSA and SGC were backed up and charging $35 per card. Their inserts are short thus making some cards look short. In my opinion ISA's grading is probably a grade above what PSA would grade but in my case I have 10 cards in holders for $50 instead of $350. Remember buy the card and not the flip.
