Joann,

Hooray for you! Hopefully this can be a launching pad to clean up the hobby and that other auction houses will follow the lead of Rob. If not, hopefully collectors will step up and like you boycott those that do not.

Barry,

Without going back to the MEARS letter, I believe their requirements had to do with many things beyond the actual grade of the card including disclosure of ownership, bidding information and alterations to the product done by the auction house or that the auction house was aware of.

This is not primarily directed to the grading companies but to the auction houses and their dubious practices.
