Default Graded Card Moral and Ethical Issue

Posted By: Gilbert Maines

I agree: no disclosure.
There is nothing to "disclose".
We all know that grading companies will view things differently at different times.

So will we. I recently looked over a batch of cards which I graded months ago and thought to myself "Gil, you were feeling optimistically that day".

No big deal that my opinion varies, no big deal for others, either.

Sometimes it is easy to identify a trim job, sometimes it is not.

There are sellers who treat every "business" transaction as an opportunity to maximize profits. Similarly, there are sellers who view each business transaction as an opportunity to establish a relationship of mutual trust.

I remember Leon's B/S/T offering - and I felt a little Rizzutoish when the term "Holy Cow" entered my mind.

Sometimes it seems as if we are viewed by each other as non-adversarial. Or worse: colleagues. When we are lucky, we can become acquaintences (except for T206Collector).
