Default Old Card Grading a boondoggle???

I'm pretty new here and not trying to start WW3, but I've been in the market for some old T205 and older "Braves" cards (Rustlers,Doves..etc) and so have been scouring ebay looking for the right matchup in quality to budget. I have noticed that some PSA 2's look better than some 4's and some 5's look awful compared to another one right below it. It's enough to drive ya batty!

It just seems to me that for the prices they charge the grading could be a bit more consistent. I now they are human beings and prone to error (and the old "monday/friday" issues.) But when one considers how much stock people put in grading, and how the sellers use it like granite in pricing, Iwould like to see a PSA4 and know, within reason, what i'm getting.

thoughts? opinions? pithy comments? :-)
