KSA/O-Pee-Chee?
Is KSA a trusted grader? I'm looking at a D.Winfield rookie O-Pee-Chee KSA 9.
I keep reading that the OPC's vintage are rarer than their Topps counterparts. Is this true as well?
Thanks, Jamie

I have been to KSA's shop. They are just north of Kitchener Ontario about an hour outside of Toronto. They are, being in Canada, known more in the hockey collecting circles. They don't get much run in the states being a Canadian company. To my understanding the hockey guys trust them, but I would throw your question out to them on the hockey boards to get a better feel.
And yes, O-pee-chee cards tend to book slightly higher than Topps counterparts due to smaller print runs.

NO..stay away from these Canadian companies....like KSA and CSA..
Your just paying for staisfaction...Expect the grade to be 2-3 grades lower and expect the cards trimmed. Defintely not for crossover and not for re-sell. Only thing be best for is a PC (personal collection)
