Does anyone have any experience with CSA. No, not the CSA from the US. I'm talking about Canadian Sports Authenticator located in Courtenay, British Columbia.

Not a good history, you are really taking a gamble whether the card is authentic or unaltered.

That's a pity. CSA had this offer where you would pay $999.99 for unlimited grading. No one else offers this. Your response above to my question probably explains why - they need the business.

Thanks.

That's an interesting offer, I think I have spent slightly over that amount to SGC but would have never thought of paying one lump sum for unlimited grading.

It was a very attractive offer for me since I have a lot of cards to get graded. And because they are in Canada I wouldn't have to deal with customs. My other Canadian option would be KSA but I believe they also have a similar reputation. I had some C55 hockey cards graded by KSA about 8 years ago and I thought they did a great job. Haven't dealt with them recently though so I don't know if their standards have lowered.

CSA cards don't pull good prices because of their reputation. I would go with SGC. It does sound annoying to have to deal with customs.

I'm Canadian, and while I don't have my cards graded (I do buy them slabbed) I've heard that SGC has a Canadian submission center in Oshawa, Ontario where you can mail your cards, have them slabbed, and avoid issues at customs.

Check out this thread for more pertinent info.
