In my humble opinion, a card is the same card no matter what the sticker of some TPG says. Our eyes are the final judge-- and the one that counts.
If I think a 2 looks like a 4 to me, then I will pay "4 money" for it.
If I think a 9 looks like a 7 to me, I will only pay "7 money" for it.
As long as the buyer essentially "grades the graders," then it all works out.
When dudes buy overgraded cards, dudes play themselves. When dudes buy undergraded cards, they get steals and can potentially make loot off bumps.
