Default Buy the card, not the holder (example)

Posted By: Lee Behrens

I personally have been under the theory that grading is subjective and if you can't grade cards on your own you shouldn't be buying them. It still blows my mind that people would pay more money a slabbed card than a card of equal card that is unslabbed. I thought the one great benefit was at least the card was authenticated, but after being on forums like this I am not ssure that is always true.
My other gripe about grading services (PSA in perticular), how do you rate a card EX o/c, or marked? I was always under the theory that o/c and marks on cards were part of the grading.
The only slabbed card I own is a T202 Cobb/Moriarity SGC 30 Good that is sure believe at it's weakest is a VG, there a no major flaws in the card. But hey I picked it up for $215. One time where I think the seller got screwed.

I'm done venting, Thanks
