Hi, Jim,
I agree wholeheartedly with everything in your post. Coincidentally, I
just picked up a number of posters that had been graded and evaluated by MP
Grading. Not only is Todd one of the nicest and most gracious guys in the
hobby, but he's a true professional with a passion not only for movie
posters in general, but also for providing what I believe are necessary
safeguards to protect the hobby from other unsavory characters like Kerry
Haggard.
Others like him will undoubtedly appear on the movie poster scene in the
future if services like Todd's MP Grading aren't around to be the hobby's
"watch-dog" of sorts. I also want to compliment Todd's business
partner/photographer Aaron Raymond, who does amazing work and is a really
great guy
himself. They certainly make an incredible team...very highly recommended.

I wanted to make an unsolicited comment about MP Grading.
I have slowly but surely been sending my entire collection to MP Grading.
I think its is a wonderful service. They have been professionally grading
and evaluating my collection. In this post Haggard era of horror, this is
a very comforting thing to do. I see some real benefits to this program.
There is some inconvenience and some minor costs, but they are far
outweighed by the benefits.
Some of the benefits I see are:
1. I have the assurance that my cards and posters are truly legitimate.
2. They give you a professional looking certificate for each card showing
the grade.
3. I have found that with some sellers grades vary, depending upon the
person doing the grading. This MP Grading system will take much of the
subjectivity out of the system. As a buyer, I would much rather purchase a
card
that they have graded, as it is consistent, not subject to the whim of the
seller.
4. They take a very good photo of each card or poster.
5. As a seller, I can sell a card grading it with confidence, as I just
use the grade that MP Grading has given it. I believe I am getting better
prices selling cards that they have graded. Buyers can be confident.
Especially for me, as I was associated with Haggard. Buyers have no fear.
6. I often worry about what would happen if there was ever a fire or a
theft. MP Grading provides a secondary source of verification should I ever
need it with my insurance company. As a matter of fact, I know Four Color
Comics experienced this very thing.
7. I like the fact that my cards are not sealed like cgc cards. I want my
cards out for displaying.
Overall, I think it is wonderful what MP Grading is doing for our hobby.
If everyone got on board, our hobby would be a better, safer, more
professional hobby. I think that would raise our values.
Anyway, I am very impressed with what MP Grading is doing for our hobby. I
encourage each and every collector and dealer to get on board. Like I
said, Todd has no idea I am sending this out. It is truly from the heart.
