If pas gave negative grades, my collection would probably fall into that category.

Having said that, I don't really bother with grading. Not that I have anything against it, but when creased, tears, trimming, holes, writing and stains are pretty much pre-requisites for cards to enter your collection, you find that technical grades are the furthest thing from your mind. Hell, in my case, it doesn't even have to be a complete card, and often that's even preferred. For financial reasons, of course.
