When the idea of grading cards was first conceived, did the grading companies even consider that the low grades would garner so much attention? It seems that splitting hairs on the top end is where the market was envisioned. If that is the case, then it's only natural that low-grade collectors will be dissatisfied with the grading system.

Maybe some board members who know about the workings of the coin grading industry can share whether low grade coins share the same interest as low grade vintage cards. Has the coin world already encountered and addressed this problem?
