barrysloate"Buy the card, not the holder" is a great aphorism but in the real world I think more people buy the holder. If you didn't take photo quality into grading consideration, a 30 with a strong photo would sell for more than a 40 with a weak one, and if that is the case, there is a flaw in the grading system. Grading is really only an opinion in the end, so why not add eye appeal into the mix? Diamonds and pearls are graded using technical criteria but you better believe eye appeal is part of the mix.
