This is EXACTLY what the hobby needs.

....another sticker service from a quality business that is always open on Monday, has a proven track record of perfect objectivity, and has never had the misfortune of losing customers' submissions. Did I miss anything?

apparently he is certifying the already graded cards

The new MBA service addresses a long sought-after need, highlighting premium examples of PSA, SGC, & BGS cards by adding a Silver, Gold or Black (MBA) hologram to the holder. “Dual Certification has a proven track record in the numismatic industry for over a decade and the goal of the (MBA) hologram for PSA, SGC, & BGS graded cards is to continue that track record.”

Well who else would certify a certification?

[mjohnatgt]

Is the Purple Label guy still doing this?

So the "best" graded card would be a BGS black label with an MBA black diamond sticker, certified as "high end" by PWCC.

You can’t triple stamp a double stamp.

Coins already have this. CAC stickers which has two levels. Green stickers and gold stickers. They sell for a nice premium.

it must have been an oversight that his time at global authority got left off that bio page

Run by CEO Demian Werner and Director of Grading Mike Baker - who once served in the same capacity for industry leader PSA - Global Authority has plans to leverage the value of the old GAI name while adding some of its own wrinkles to the graded card market. Its services include grading single sports or gaming cards, grading unopened packs of cards, and consigning memorabilia items to auctions through its Global Passport program.

Both of them have long ties with GAI, Global Authentics, and Global Authority.

Who is certifying the certifier of the 3 party grading company?

Maybe it's because he didn't consider it to be a real grading service.

So according to the information on the website, they only certify/rate cards from Beckett, PSA and SGC.

I guess this means that he won't be putting any black diamond stickers on all of the trimmed cards he graded while he was with Global/GAI/GA. That's a huge relief since it would be a duplicate service.

At least he's going to be set up at the National in December!

At least he can spread his booth out and socially distance.

Just as I was planning to launch my company, they beat me to it. I had 3 levels in the works, each with a different sticker. Level 1 - thumbs up, level 2 - smiley face, level 3 - WOW! I had already bought the stickers from Dollar Tree.
