I hear ya Tony, but could it be comparable to OJs and their grades versus image quality? You can have a Vg/Ex Oj that so faded it really detracts from the card even though technically its a 4. Clean CJs with great, clean color just pop and can make a cad that's technically Gd look bu-tee-ful if its clean. I have found that paying a premium always goes with a clean CJ, just like the image on an OJ. I usually miss the boat though...
