The number of collectors in this very small hobby of ours (compared to coins, comics, baseball cards, stamps) is too small to make it profitable for the professional grading companies. I think its pretty cool as an "experiment"........but it won't catch on. The number of lobby card collectors on this planet is decreasing.....not increasing. I'd love to see a grading company slab a one sheet or an insert as a test. Not sure if I'd laugh or cry.

Well that day is finally upon us for better or worse (though I can't help but wonder if it had been here even two years ago would collectors have saved literally millions of dollars and maybe the "Universal Horror Fakes" fiasco might have been over as soon as it started.) CGC (Certified Grading Company - the people who have been grading comics for over a decade) has recently begun limited certification of lobby cards to test the market and the first examples will be offered at the upcoming Heritage Signature Auction in July. Although no photos are on Heritage's site yet, there are two listings for complete lobby sets (Let It Be, and All The King's Men) that have been CGC graded/certified. It will be very interesting to see how these are accepted in the marketplace.
