It's true. The big guns are coming to the big smoke to grade on-site at next month's Expo. Hide all women and children.

thought they were just taking submitions?

I heard they were only doing autograph authentication and no cards.

It is just sports autographs- http://www.collectors.com/list_all_shows.chtml

OMG! That is SO deceiving! I get an email from the show promoter that says "PSA ONSITE GRADING," and I mean the first thing that pops up in your head is "grading cards, right?" I mean KSA is doing onsite grading, they are not grading bloody autographs ... they are grading cards, dammit!

I got very excited and even told a few of my friends about it as well, but I emailed Al Sinclair a few days ago just to make sure they were grading cards and not doing some raw card review, he didn't even bother replying back.

Just so pathetic ...

Carol from PSA said that the promoter had it wrong on the flyer. One the PSA website it says just autographs. Too bad it got a lot of people's hopes up.

With all the demand from us as collectors how come PSA has never done card grading at the show before?? It just seems like they are losing money!!

They would have to bring all their equipment over the border, too much money (customs and crap.) I believe Beckett tried something like that, but they ended up losing a lot of dough - and stopped doing it.

Hi, I wouldn't be suprised if the wording from the promoters was chosen
that way on purpose, could be wrong of course. Generate a lot of traffic
without actually telling untruths.
