    I love how it says 'no holder' and then the picture has it in a holder

    I'd only consider it with a COA.

    His feedback is impeccable...in the sense that he has been a member for a whole week and still doesn't have any negatives to go along with his zero positives.

    I collect variations and print defects with my Topps sets. I bought these on ebay a few years back. I was not the submitter. The card fronts are normal

    I wonder if the people of Missoula care that their mail is being processed through the Gates of Hell.

    Makes KSA actually look legit which is scary. "Want your cards to grade a 10 - send to KSA!" Card could be cut in half with a tire mark and still be gem mint with them.

    Two great quotes from the listing: "pristine "N9" condition as stated by PSA" and "it is not officially a baseball card once in the mis-print category".
    Great stuff!

    I think you might be confusing KSA with one of the ones like GEM grading company. KSA does not have the reputation that the big 3 do, but their grades certainly do get distributed from 1 through 10. Typically they are 1 to 1.5 grades higher than PSA, but they do have some cards that cross over with an equivalent grade. There are recorded instances of that on this board, especially with vintage hockey. KSA has multiple offices, and they employ different graders in each. Some offices are known for being more strict on grading than others. The weakest one was the former Canadian-Atlantic office that was closed. I don't send my items there for grading, but I have picked up some KSA-graded cards for a great discount and had them cross to PSA, where even with a slightly lower grade I still ended up with a heck of a deal. They sell for lower prices because of the higher risk, but if you are picky about what to look for, there can be a high reward with them too since less people bid on them. Can't say the same for companies like GEM who only give out 10's.



    I am assuming you are not into hockey; I think the majority of the buyers of KSA cards who are looking to cross them are purchasing hockey. I don't look into their baseball items much.

    Great stuff!




    The quote from the listing that I don't understand is this one:

    "I am selling this amazing card for $25,000, the absolute limit that ebay will allow, or I would ask for more."



    What does that mean? I may have missed something but I've never heard of a price limit on ebay before.

    There's a listing limit for new sellers until they've proven themselves, used to start at $5K I believe.

    I tried selling on one of my buyer accounts and there was a $100 limit or 5 listings per month.



    My selling account allows $135k
