IMO, I believe the true collector will always focus on the card rather than the grade, if graded. They will probably always have a couple of card projects going at the same time. For example I have been trying to complete a T206 back run
of McGraw glove, but the final 2 are proving elusive, and a card run of George Sisler. The collector will rarely, if ever, submit a raw card he loves for grading. Instead of looking for comps from VCP, the collector will be looking at as many examples of a card he seeks to draw comparisons before he pulls the trigger.
