9) SERVICE: We provide exceptional service, with virtually all orders being shipped within 1-4 days of receipt. Unlike other dealers, we do not have a retail store, so all our efforts are geared towards mail order. Plus our best inventory is sold in the mail, not to store customers.

OUR GUARANTEE: All cards and collectibles are subject to your approval. If something isn’t right, or we make a mistake, we’ll correct it! We’ve stood behind this guarantee for 40+ years. FINAL NOTE: Every dealer in the country has his own guidelines for grading. We feel ours are among the MOST CONSERVATIVE IN THE COUNTRY. Please read our grading guidelines carefully — our idea of cards graded "EX-MT" or "EXCELLENT" is considerably more conservative than Beckett Monthly, Sports Collectors Digest, and other reputable publications.
