As a long time card collector I can tell you NO ONE wants KSA. as a matter of fact this topic is the first i am hearing of them.

From what I've heard; they're terrible at grading (a KSA 5/6 can be a PSA/SGC 2) and they do not take into account any manipulation of cards.

Really? I have heard that they are quite good for hockey cards, maybe not for other ones though.

Not at all.

There's a reason why a PSA 9 Gretzky OPC rookie brings so much more than a KSA 9 Gretzky OPC rookie.

It's because people prefer American grading companies over Canadian ones. Canadian collectors probably would pick KSA.

No, this is not an issue related to national pride. PSA/SGC have much stricter grading standards than KSA does as well as much stricter grading criteria.

I would have loved KSA to become a powerhouse in the authentication game as I live in Toronto, but I would not give them money for anything. Early signs are not great.
