Right. Pricing and grading are two different things. Look at what happened to SCDA. When Beckett first started grading collectors turned to them very quickly for the exact reason Jake pointed out--name recognition. Shortly after that word got out about the ease with which they would grade sheet cut cards which essentially is the same thing as trimmed cards. Not sure that was ever something they were able to resolve to win back people's confidence. Additionally, nobody ever knew the qualifications, names or experience of this new grading service's graders which is also a problem if you want to establish yourself as a leader.
