Brilliant about the circus clown school! It is often true.
As some have said: TPGs are very useful for basically telling you a card is likely unaltered and legit when buying online, which thus makes buying online much safer. That's great for the hobby. And there's the slab's protection. But for me that's all they are for. My own personal grading standards are way different from theirs, in terms of how I weigh back damage, wrinkles that need magnification or intense light to see, centering, tilt, etc.
