Leon,
I am well aware of the issues with the grading companies grading some faded cards as high grade. Frankly, they have made a mess of things. That's why in my previous posts I explicitly referred to the cards as "an SGC 84 with a great image" and "N172's SGC 84's with outstanding images" as being under a thousand dollars.
To each his own, maybe some people want to collect high grade cards with faded images, not I. But I believe that the high grade cards with outstanding images have been taken down as well as a result of the grading snafu. I say this because a T206 PSA 8 "1of1" will go for over 7.5k, but an N172 PSA 8 with a strong image is still in the 2.5k range, that is only 1/3 the value.
Also, if perhaps half the high-grade OJ's are really overgraded due to a faded image, think of how special that makes the really nice ones...
Again, just my viewpoint, people may choose to collect them however they wish (I own a variety of different grade OJ's, btw).
