John SJim,
While grading certainly has a place in the hobby (and as part of the discussion on this board) I do not believe that it should be the primary focus. I personally place little weight in the population reports as a means to assess relative abundance/rarity. Overtime as more re-submissions, crack-outs, and crossovers occur the information contained in the pop reports will continue to lose validity. I would much rather learn about the cards, not the plastic that surrounds them.
