was Chicago now Glendale AZ
While searching ebay I came across some Razor football cards graded Gem 10 by Lone Star Authenticated

Has anyone ever seen any cards graded by this company?

Does anyone know anything about this company?

I am not a big grading person since most of what I buy = for PC so the only two I really gave much attention to = PSA and Beckett grading services. There was one more that seemed to be respected back in the card shops days but I am drawing a blank right now. I do recall 3-4 that seemed to give everything gem mints (I think one compnay was even called GEM MINT!) and weren't really accepted by the collecting community

Thanks for any information

I have bought hundreds of cards from him in the past, I did not know that they have started grading. I dont see this being any different that the several low end off shoot grading companies that never really catch on.

link?

As long as Razor has no ties to this grading company, I say welcome any legit, objective TPG to the game. It will be almost impossible for a company to be successful without a large hobby name behind it, and even then, tough the same.

Stay away from GEM. They do not authenticate and state so on their site. I own a counterfeit in a GEM holder. Scammer/trimmers dream company.


Have to add Lone Star to the list....
