Mr. Macdoube, could you please describe how you examine your cards and i may be able to give you a hint or two to let you better see the card in the same atmosphere and use the same methods as the graders. in all honesty though i can not feel sorry for your grades a 10 is fairly hard to justify in most vintage cases as their is always some flaw on any card, even modern, with the exception of some of these rounded corner metal cards that are produced today. Your best bet is to just keep submitting. Is this fair ,No, is this the way it should be, NO, but from 16 years experience submitting cards that is just the way it is. You are not going to come to the game this late and change the rules. I am sorry if you dont like that but that is reality. I agree with you that it should not be but it is what it is. With the $$$ these 10's will bring I just cant feel sorry for your grades. If your 9's are truly as outstanding as you state they will bring a premium over an average 9 anyway.
PS I am impressed with that nice a collection of one of my favorite sets.
