Great Grading Option
After seeing USA card grading at a few shows and seeing more dealers carrying their slabs I talked with some friends in the hobby that had used USA. After their positive experiences, I decided to give them a try. My first experience was great!
I didn't want to wait 4 months (or more with PSA) to get cards back, so it was nice to get my cards in 2 weeks.
I really like the flips on the slabs and the slabs seem similar to PSAs. I sent in a mixture of vintage and modern cards and the black labels look great on both! To me the grades seemed comparable to some CGC submissions I've recently received back and similar to SGC grading (who knows what PSA will send back). Like any submission there are some you feel should be higher and some that you're pleasantly surprised with, and with USA that was the case for me (with most cards coming in right where I expected).
I wouldn't recommend submitting with the thought that USA will hand out grades, this isn't BCCG or FGC. They are fair but tough and most importantly to me seem to actually grade per their posted standards. I thought there was great consistency and as I send in more submissions, I hope to see the same.
This may seem like nothing, but I love the boxes that the cards came back in, there were individual sleeves on each slab, and they even sent back my card savers which were all nice touches.
I think USA Grading has a great oppurtunity and as more people see these slabs and work with them, they will continue to grow.
Well done!
