steve k<<< from an old timer. He had several low condition star cards and I spoke to him about grading. He told me he is done with grading after one go round. >>>
That's funny...sounds like almost every card shop owner I've ever spoken to since card grading came about. When going into their card shop and mentioning "PSA" or "SGC" - it's liked you just uttered a curse word. Then they go into their "sales pitch" about the worthlessness of grading. Of course then you ask to look at one their NM graded cards in the glass case, and of course virtually every time it is at best an EXMT card and many times even worse.
Why not ask Hal Lewis how much he would have paid for his T-206 Wagner if it wasn't in a SGC slab. He probably wouldn't have bought it at all.
Barry has it absolutely right here.
